Archbishop of Canterbury admits Bible full of "legends" isn't that what Atheists have been saying all along?

There was scant evidence for the Magi, and none at all that there were three of them, or that they were kings, he said. All the evidence that existed was in Matthew’s Gospel. The Archbishop said: "Matthew’s Gospel doesn’t tell us there were three of them, doesn’t tell us they were kings, doesn’t tell us where they came from. It says they are astrologers, wise men, priests from somewhere outside the Roman Empire, that’s all we’re really told." Anything else was legend. "It works quite well as legend," the Archbishop said.





Further, there was no evidence that there were any oxen or asses in the stable. The chances of any snow falling around the stable in Bethlehem were "very unlikely." And as for the star rising and then standing still: the Archbishop pointed out that stars just don’t behave like that.

Personally I've been saying the Bible is full of ****, but I guess it's about the same.
Reply:Your question is absolute nonsense. You say that this gentleman is pointing out that a lot of the Christmas tradition does not appear in the Bible and you take that to mean that the Bible contains inaccuracies?





Read what you wrote again: The Bible doesn't mention snow falling around the stable (obviously) and you say that means the Bible version is inaccurate.





Truly sir you have a dizzying intellect.
Reply:Incorrect. He said that the story of three wise men at the birth of Christ is a myth, as it is NOT in the BIble





Pay attention or you will have to repeat this class
Reply:The Bible said in the last days there would be believers who turn away from the truth, and turn to myths.
Reply:Can't win can he. So we have a highly intelligent man here that is obviously religious but wants to point out a few issues and he gets it rammed back down his throat.
Reply:More fine protestant belief ah the The fruits of Sola Scriptura...again
