One has to wonder, why are they harshing my Harvey? These folks seem to be divided into two camps: Those who think my faith as a whole is as stupid as a belief in Harvey the Rabbit and those who think that only about my belief in the Bible as the real Word of God. But it never seems to occur to them we Harvey the Rabbit types (over 90% of Americans) have built the freest, most prosperous nation in history. So why mess with our delusions? Why don't they just sit back and enjoy the ride?
My wife was watching the National Geographic show on Mary Magdelene last night, and they were pretty straight at first (they even treated her presence at the Resurrection as a fact), but then they started talking about how "other gospel writers" had "shaken the very foundations of Christianity" by writing more about her, and this was said over footage of actors portraying Jesus and Mary kissing. I turned to my wife and said, "The idea here is that the disciples were willing to suffer horrible deaths for their risen Lord and were gaining thousands of converts, but they couldn't let any of the faithful hear about how Jesus liked chicks and married one, because that might ruin the whole thing." Yeah, right.
I knew what was coming though, because like every other NG and HC special, they only had theologians from Harvard and other lefty divinity schools on. Like G.K. Chesterton said, some ideas are so stupid only an intellectual can believe them.
"have built the freest, most prosperous nation in history"
But, these commies HATE the USA and don't believe it's "freest" or "most prosperous" or anything else, so your argument is useless.

Ick.
Glad I am not watching those channels now.
I do recall there is one interesting and positive show on one of those channels I think.
I see it every once in awhile where this Biblical Archaeologist goes around trying to find Biblical things. One time he was looking for the Ark of the Covenant in an Ethiopian town and another time was looking for where the waters were parted etc.
He seemed to be a definite believer.
