{TFFOF} The Fundamental Foolishness of Fundamentalists

I don't know if the tittle is provocative or not and I mean it quite seriously. Because it cannot in any fashion be true that the so-called indisputable truths of life are found in a tattered old relic of a book, stitched together in piecemeal fashion by a group of men during the 4th century... on the strict instructions of the Emperor Constantine, the first Roman Emperor to convert to Christianity. He needed a single book to be agreed upon to help him unify his Empire. Until this time the various Christian leaders could not decide which books would be considered "holy" and thus "the word of God" and which ones would be excluded and not considered the word of God. Emperor Constantine used what motivates many to action, by offering substantial sums of money to various Church leaders gathered together at the Council of Nicaea, where they voted the "word of God" into existence. The Church leaders didn't finish editing the "holy" scriptures until the Council of Trent, when the Catholic Church pronounced the matter closed. However, the real editor of the Bible was not God but Emperor Constantine. In other words, the Christian Bible was commissioned, paid for, inspected and approved by a pagan emperor for church use. Now ... if you want to talk about Jesus and his words of love and peace, that's another matter. But keep that irritating, old wicked book out of my face ... it's a prostitute of a book, bought and paid for with Roman Imperial blood money.

These boys agree with me, fortunately.
