WRONG: I was brought up in a Christian family. Read the bible everyday. Only after years of study and learning about society, history, science, logic, mathematics, and all the knowledge we have today that I start to see all the flaws and 'fairy tales' that is the Bible.
Want me to quote some stuff off of my head from the Bible?
Numbers 31:17-18: Jehovah orders, 'Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known a man by lying with him, but keep alive for yourselves...'
Ezekiel 9-6: Utterly slay old and young, men and maidens and little children and women...
Numbers 15:32-36: God orders a man stoned to death by the children of Israel for picking up sticks...
need i go on? ...... or, perhaps you're the one who has not read the bible, but only listened to carefully selected 'phrases' by your preacher?

Ah yes, the most commonly made arguments that sounds good but are fatally flawed. It looks like you have not been trained to think critically... if you have time, i suggest you pick up any books with the title 'logic and critical thinking'.
Let's see how your argument here is flawed:
1. Once upon a time, everyone believed the Earth was flat, but does that make it true?
2. The Da Vinci's Code by Dan Brown is the best selling book today, and have alternative views of Christianity, but does that mean it's fact?
3. You would love 'playboy magazine' because it's a hot seller!!! I love it though!, and not because it's a hot seller.
