Pramjockey's right. And in addition, Atheists don't say the Bible is crap. They just say it's not the word of God. It's a book written a thousand or so years ago by some men and a few women, translated hundreds of times into many languages. It is a book to try to explain the meaning of life, why are we here and what happens when we die? The Bible has many good teachings and many bad ones, re: sacrificing your only child to God, beating your wife, etc... It's just a book. But some believe it is the word of God.

On the other hand, there is Carter's book. And people here and elsewhere claim it's crap before they even read it. How can you declare something is wrong before knowing what that something is?
