I should probably note that my professor was 88 years old and was a bit short on excitement when it came to the class. He would mostly just mumble for 50 minutes and then tell us to get out of there. It was, honestly, one of the worst courses I've ever taken, which is why I want to take something similar now that I'm in a (hopefully) higher caliber school.
And, it's probably best for keeping peace on the forum not to delve too much into hardcore religious debating, but I'll just note that I have yet to hear any argument for the truth of the Bible that doesn't assume its own truth a priori, which instantly deflates the entire argument, to me.
But, debating religion is a fairly pointless exercise, since our poor primate brains are predisposed to be dead-set about such things, despite any evidence to the contrary. Even things like the statistics on car accidents and divorce rate tend to trigger the "oh, but that won't happen to me, I'm one of the lucky ones" neuro-response.
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
