Your mockery only shows me more that atheism is a Satan fueled deception. You gain NOTHING by mocking Christians and your posts never bring anything of value to the discussion.
The claim was made that the Bible is fiction. Back it up. It's not my fault that atheists stubbornly refuse to acknowledge perfectly valid evidence like archaeology yet make bold claims without ever backing it up.

Satan is a creature created by man to deny responsibility for their actions. It is much easier to say Satan is responsible than to say I screwed up.
It's a good point. If you don't believe the talking donkey, why should we believe the Whale (or gigantic fish) story? On the other hand, if you DO believe the talking donkey, let's see you say so. That should do your credibility some good
In any event, I've heard theologians suggest that Jonah did not survive. It seems he might have been dead. Read the account of it, and it describes how he went down to the depths. He very likely died, and the whale was simply used to transport his body to the surface.
Then explain to me how he was then sent on a diplomatic mission to Assyria? He shambled along as a zombie? And the apologetic gymnastics of "Theologians" (Read Bible -literalist apologists) to get over problems is well known. I can see a derail coming but you will demand examples. Take Luke's refutation of the three day resurrection claim. according to Luke Jesus 'rose' from the dead before the end of Friday.
Luke 23. 43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
However, the bible's writers and editors were anonymous
Nope. Most of the authors are known.

Luke was a physician. Other books were written by kings, and very learned men. But your attitude smacks of ethnocentrism. Do you think you're smarter than previous generations of people?

and made guesses as to how the world works.
The Bible was inspired by God. It doesn't guess how the world works, and doesn't make the claim to be a science book. Maybe you should read it,and you'd see that.

And the fact they got most of it wrong should not be surprising to anyone possessed of a modicum of education, intelligence and common sense.
Sadly, that leaves out fundies.
Again...try reading it. It's clear you simply don't have a clue. You do have a bias, though. I'm sorry for whatever caused that.
