I really think the idea that there is a God is so self-evidently silly.

And offering any part of the Bible as proof is self-negating. Claiming that the Bible is "inspired by God" is as arbitrary and intellectually indefensible as simply postulating God's existence in the first place. What's the difference. "Inspired by God" presupposes his existence.

God is a temporary crutch concept. We created God as a way of filling in the blanks for everything we don't yet know.
It was, and is, a terrible idea.

If we don't self-destruct first as one mass of god proponents seeks to annihlate another, we will evolve to the point where we realize the dopeyness of this terrible construct.
