The Christian deity needs to brush up on his ornithology if he thinks a BAT is a BIRD…
Examples of God’s basic difficulty in getting it right include the following…
Deuteronomy 14:11-18 King James Version (KJV)
11 Of all clean birds ye shall eat. 12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, 13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind, 14 And every raven after his kind, 15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, 16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan, 17 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant, 18 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
Leviticus 11:13-19 says very much the same thing and is equally flawed.
Biblical apologetics (i.e. fanatical religious deniers of basic common sense) have comically sought to explain this error and many others away with problematic logic, yet this does not cut the mustard.
The allegedly infallible Bible was undeniably written from the perspective of what people thought to be accurate at the time. This proves that the Bible was NOT the infallible Word of God. It was merely what the deluded biblical authors assumed to be true in those ancient times.
The Bible makes wide-ranging and frequently bizarre classifications. This is namely because it is not the Word of God but just the strange and often contradictory ramblings of a series of ancient hermits, bigots and oddballs who considered themselves special, via being in touch with their imagined version of divinity.
Listing a bat as a bird may have seemed rational at that time because folks back then were ignorant of additional scientific facts, that we take for granted today. They first smugly tell us now that the Bible is 'God’s word', yet now these self-righteous excuse-makers admit that the old biblical writers had their facts wrong, due to scientific ignorance.
So, are they saying that the god who allegedly inspired their sacred text book actually misled the deluded biblical authors who wrote down that bats were birds?
By admitting to the batty biblical error and feebly trying to explain it all away with very shaky logic the wacky Christian apologists of today simply give the rest of us clear evidence that their so-called holy book (which was regularly re-hashed over the centuries, added to, subtracted from and produced by some very strange menfolk) is deeply flawed from the onset.
In fact, Christian apologetic thinking itself may be seen as rather illogical. Some theologians have rightly been cynical about the value of apologetics to a religion that is of course based on blind faith alone and not genuine logic.
Christian apologetics believe that they must show that worldviews opposed to their limited cut on reality are at best untrue, or at worse satanically-inspired. They deem that it is possible to show that no opposing view of God is true or can be true. That think that if they fail in their holy mission to educate (indoctrinate) the world towards accepting their cherry-picked doctrinal values that they have failed and will go to Hell.
Their faith is 100% blind and wholly intolerant of anything that challenges it. They consider all other faiths, or no faith at all, to be bogus.
The Bible is a dishonest chain of greatly adulterated documents created by religious zealots wanting to nurture a certain, coloured monotheistic worldview on the rest of society. Apologetics still seek to impose this hoax-based cosmology onto us today.
The gospels are a serious of contradictory narrative writings created by unknown authors, after the assumed death of the Jesus Christ figure, with a purpose to reunite the Jewish religious system for their own sectarian ends. All claimed evidence for an historical Jesus figure, including his assumed birth, life, death and resurrection is based on third-hand gossip and is a result of 1st century myth making.
The Bible, gospels and the whole Jesus Myth are unashamed early Christian adoptions of much earlier Pagan legends, which can be traced back to ancient civilisations such as Mesopotamia, Samaria etc. All Christian society is provably founded on this ancient theocratic lie and duplicitous claims with no foundation in authentic fact.
To quality as a fully certified Christian Fundamentalist the first requirement is total mental self-delusion. After that, an ongoing and bitter intolerance (presented of course with a kind, knowing smile) towards anyone who dares to question the Bible will be essential.
