The most fascinating thing about the Bible is that it so many people feel a burning need to mock it actively.

There must be something about that ancient text that burns in them, so passionate is their need to deliver their derision up in the most puerile of taunts.

Nothing like a little preachin' from the good book to bring out the playground bully in the the most learned of men.

One thing I do note, though, is that the world seems to sort itself out quite well: Most of the snide and adolescent commenters are people that I would be quite content seeing go off to eternal torment.

The small amount of enjoyment I get out of putting them in their place now is nothing compared to the cosmic I-told-you-so that possibly awaits them. But then, I've always been long term oriented.

Bottom line - I would believe their claims of atheism if they spent even 3-5% of their time mocking other world religions. But they obsess over Christianity and the Bible. It's hilarious, really.

But, like all types of frame, the frame of my personal faith is unshakeable, especially in the face of playground taunts. It is sobering, really, to see men on this blog and others who are able to write and reason brilliantly on most any topic suddenly turn into a "mean girl".

Something about engaging with Christians just brings out the worst in others.
