I dunno, Al. I did a YouTube search for stephen fry bible and came up with lots of the same haughty ridicule that I hear from Hitchens and Dawkins and their ilk. And the problem with that, is that these three take a shallow, fundamentalist view of the Bible and religion, and then proceed to condemn ALL religious thought and tradition.

The Bible is a sacred, ancient document that is the product of a thousand years of written and oral tradition. Fry/Hitchens/Dawkins paint a cheap caricature of this ancient book and then subject it to ridicule. Certainly a document so ancient and so complex in its origins should be given more serious consideration. I believe the same respect and serious consideration is due to the sacred writings and traditions of all cultures. Fry/Hitchens/Dawkins write them off too quickly.
