\u201cIt\u2019s only a book, you know. Don\u2019t look so shocked. If it were the word of an all powerful god don\u2019t you think it would be less inconsistent? More to the point, don\u2019t you think that the book itself would be inviolable? As it is I can show you how it\u2019s been edited and altered by man to fulfil man\u2019s agenda\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Peter grunted as he interrupted;<\/p>\n
\u201cOh good heavens, not this again! The bible has been altered so it can\u2019t be the word of God? Did you ever consider that it might have been the Grace of God within chosen people that led to the refinement of the bible? The point is that you don\u2019t believe in God, so you assume that there are no good reasons for what you see as inconsistencies in the Bible. I on the other hand believe in God and that the Bible is the Word, I am just not smart or holy enough to fully understand it. So anyway how do you want your steak? Everything is ready and the pan is hot.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMedium rare, please Pete. Thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Peter turned away and placed the first steak in the pan;<\/p>\n
