How do people of the book think they know the book is actually “God’s word”? How do they manage to be so confident about it? That’s one of the things I can never figure out about that kind of religious belief. It’s so trivially easy to pretend something is “God’s word”…so why do people so readily believe it of just one book out of the millions of books there are? Why do they think the goddy authorship is established and doubt-proof?
I don’t know. That’s one of the infinite number of things I don’t know.
The latest collection of Jesus and Mo strips, with a foreword by ME.

The Bible is the word of god because it says so right there in the Bible, Ophelia.
Hyuk. Ok – this comment is the word of god.
See what I did there??
Ophelia,
I can’t understand religious belief either. It’s a mystery why otherwise sensible and rational people, who live in liberal democracies, accept the obviously incoherent drivel contained in the world’s sacred texts.
Perhaps there’s a ‘gene for religion’, I certainly don’t have it.
OMFSM– Ophelia, God hacked your account and is leaving posts with your name on them. Shame on him!
The Holy Ghost is a sockpuppet account, so you’d better block him, too.
I bought a copy for a friend’s kids’ Christmas present. It felt kind of weird buying an actual old-skool meat book.
