That's how, for 3 days with no food or water and lots of LSD, how else could they have come up with such a book?

No, but the stuff in the Talmud is the kind of nonsense that such a Chimp would write, keep in mind there were like 3 of these guys colluding in the same room for G-d knows how long- in Israel, with no air conditioner!

Too bad your humor is lost

Too bad your humor is lost among people who don't believe a creator exists.I think Darwin is the one on the typewriter. Solves the anachronism problem. As for our parchment writing Talmudic "sages"..

All god believers are

All god believers are somewhat mentally deranged. You have to be insane or your mind has to be altered to believe in a god, any god. BTW Darwin was completely sane and Seeker's comment about him is totally false.

Wow, what an intellectual statement "if you believe that you're a maniac," very professional.

The American Founding Fathers were deists.

Wiki: Deism (/ˈdiː.ɪzəm/[1][2] or /ˈdeɪ.ɪzəm/), derived from the Latin word "deus" meaning "god", is a theological/philosophical position that combines the rejection of revelation and authority as a source of religious knowledge with the conclusion that reason and observation of the natural world are sufficient to determine the existence of a single creator of the universe

I am a deist. As far as mental derangement goes, to restate a bad joke,

Q. "How do you drive an atheist crazy?"
A. Put him/her in a circular room and tell him to run to the nearest corner.
