Supernatural

1. "The Bible's got a talking ass! Ha, ha!!"

Divine irony. Balaam the *prophet* needed an ass to signal to him that an angel was blocking his path. The presence of the angel was as supernatural as the speech of the ass. The Bible contains supernatural events. Being surprised that it does is like being surprised atheists are humorless. It's just what atheists are. Miracles are just what supernatural is.

2. "Your Bible says someone got swallowed by a fish and lived three days, ha ha!!" So did Jesus directly. It was an event - a supernatural event - that was to test certain types who demand to see a sign:

38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

3. "So what kind of snake was that that was talking in the Garden of Eden, ha, ha!!" It was a snake embodied by a supernatural being called an angel named Lucifer, or Satan:

Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Atheists, you don't believe in the supernatural; we get it. Another way to say it is you don't believe in anything metaphysical, which, put that way, makes you sound really shallow. It's the same thing though. Naturalism, materialism, can't abide anything metaphysical. Which is why you don't discern levels of inspiration in such things as literature and music. Johann Sebastian Bach? To an atheist his music is no better or worse than John Cougar Mellencamp. The Homeric epics? No better than a common comic book. Whatever chemicals are operating in your brain at the moment. See how shallow you are, atheists?
