Top 10 fun facts about.....The Bible

 

Hello gentle readers, I'm an atheist if you hadn’t guessed already. I guess I became an atheist when I was in my teens and became educated enough to understand that Christianity, or any other religion for that matter, held no answers for me. I do not impose my views on anyone and I respect those who do not impose their views on me.
