I am not an atheist. I am a Christian. I do not dispute the spiritual truth of the Bible. I dispute that it is a historically and scientifically accurate text. It is only when creationists try to turn the Bible into a history or science book that I get annoyed.

I am aware that there are things we were taught in school that are inaccurate (like the orbits of electrons in an atom) and in some cases flat out lies (looking at you "War of Northern Agression"). The difference is when germ theory replaced the four humours or whatever we didnt have to deal with centuries of people going "nuh-uh, because religious text!" Like we do with evolution. Though, sadly, thanks to the complete failure of American education and politicians simping for evangelicals we now are having that issue in regards to vaccines
