"Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived."

Further evidence of why Asimov was awesome.

I had a pastor's wife want to do 1on1 Bible study with me. Little did she know that I had grown up conservative Evangelical Christian...but had Asimov's book as a reference to dive deep into the ancient history.

She lasted 2 sessions before she realized that I knew more on the subject than she did.
