Agnostic Guide Chapter 19 - Bible Study

I've been told by some believers that I need to fully read the Christian Bible and then I will surely believe. I've read it in the past and it provides much more support for disbelief.

Here is my study of the New American Standard Bible for the web. That version of the Bible is regarded as a more literal English translation. All translations should work with my comments, but I hope this is as close to the original text as possible. This isn't an all-inclusive review, but I reference many of the sections that don't make sense. There's a lot of them.

This is a work in progress so the links will appear as the study is written. I started with Genesis but skipped ahead to Matthew to balance between old and new.
