How do you know anything about any of them if you don't study them? I would invite every Christian to study Islam, and every Muslim to study Christianity. Every atheist to study creationism, and every theist to study evolution. And all of them to do so with an open eye. If Christians go searching the internet for reasons the Qu'ran is a pile of crap, or atheists go searching for reasons why the Bible is a pile of crap (or Christians searching for why darwinism is a pile of crap, or any combo of any), then you you are only seeing a bias and not really gaining anything.
I like your little warning label Sean. Prove that whoever came up with that label know very little about the object he is labeling. I especially like the content warning where is says "descriptive or advocating" it kind of makes it sound like the bible supports sodomy and violent rape. While it mentions these and the other things listed, it certainly doest advocate them, or by any means give any sort of descriptions of them.
I like how the bible gets a bad rap from the things people teach in the name of the bible. I think even for an atheist the bible could be a fasinating work of literature. It is far above the level of Homer's works, and contains many very interesting and historically accurate bits of history. I feel it should at least be given as much respect as Homer gets, or any other work of literature, whether you think it is fiction or not. It is really annoying something so interesting recieves so much hate from people who havent a clue of what is written inside. Even the bible stories you think you know well, you may find to be completely different when reading them from the real source.
