They claim that anything that is said in the Bible is fiction. But they have a problem with Hezekiah's tunnel. Why would the Jews write fiction about a tunnel between Gihon spring and the pool of Siloam? There actually is a tunnel there. Why not just say that there was a tunnel constructed there? What do you know? That is what they did. Robert B. Winn

Well, Stalin and other leaders of World Communism were the people who initiated widespread practice of abortion in the world. Except for Communist countries, abortion was illegal in all European governments until the 1960's, when Sweden was the first western European government to start government sponsored abortions. Josef Stalin was the individual who initiated Roe v. Wade. Robert B. Winn

If you do not like the Bible, why don't you read some Harry Potter books like the rest of the atheists? Robert B. Winn
