When confronting a freethinker, most Christians adviced them to examine the Bible so they will know God. In seems there is a sort of intellectual dishonesty to such a recommendation. In the first place, a Christian who gives such suggestion is not even truthful enough to tell the freethinker that he/she don’t know what Bible a non-believer should look at.
"If you can’t beat them, join them”. That's what Bible apologists say when they insist that you can find some references about dinosaurs in the pages of their “holy book”.
It is a fact that the Christian Holy (?) Bible promotes slavery. A book that is believed to be inspired by a just God...promotes one of the most hateful relationship known to free humans.
It is through the perversion of the religious element in woman, playing upon her hopes and fears of the future, holding this life with all its high duties in abeyance to that which is to come, that she and the children she has trained have been so completely subjugated by priestcraft and superstition.
-- Elizabeth Cady Stanton
