Typically this is a Christian argument used against Islam - but I’m actually curious if this is seen as a valid argument from a secular point of view? (Even if it’s not the “best”)

Because essentially it’s “your holy book contradicts the holy book it claims to be endorsed by”, which personally I think I can see working on a secular level, even if you don’t actually believe in the Bible either.

    It’s pretty simple

    None of their books have a shred of credibility.

    That which is stated without evidence (can be dismissed without evidence

    The very thought of their god existing falls apart when you consider the omnipotence paradox.

        Can a god create a rock it cannot lift?

        The very concept of omnipotence is a logical fallacy.

        Given that the whole basis of the fairytale relies on their god being omnipotent, it kinda falls at the first hurdle

    This is all just “my fairy tale book is better than your fairy tale book”, except with a lot of people dying.

    I just skipped through the video to get the gist of the topic.

    All I think of is Harry Potter vs Lord of the Rings. Both speak of good and evil and magic and miracles.

    You could use either set of books to disprove the claims of the other, but it wouldn’t get you any closer to understanding the world we live in.
