David’s Reviews > The Complete Book of Bible Basics > Status Update

I'm getting the point where I don't think I can hold any more knowledge on the subject LOL. I feel like I haven't really learned anything new in a while because I just can't hold any more. The one thing that I did learn (that I'm sure I'll forget) is that Blaise Pascal, a so called "philosopher", is the one who came up with the horrible argument claiming "if I'm wrong, nothing happens, if you are you go to hell."

The more I read, the more I enjoy it, but I have to admit I'm disappointed in a few things that have been left out. I wish he had gone into more details about Muslims (I know it's about "Bible" basics, but he gives more details about Mormons than he does Muslims) and I also wish he didn't leave out some not-so-flattering Basics such as what went down during the Salem witch trials.

I'm not as dissatisfied as I was a couple of days ago, but I do wish Taylor had gone into more detail on some things. I also wish that Taylor had included a section on Muslim belief as well included some controversial beliefs (such as David/Jonathan being lovers). I was also disappointed that he only refers to Judas' death as suicide; while that was how he died in Matthew, in Acts says he died because he fell down.

I'm enjoying it a bit more. I was wrong, there is a chronological list of events in the Bible, but the list only covers two pages. I swear, a lot of what the writer says is not how I interpreted things when I read the Bible.
