Amazing how the Safra dynasty had managed to privatize their lives to where they can be referred to as “the owner of an Irish hotel”

This is one of the worlds wealthiest families worth tens upon tens of billions - found it interesting. Imagine having the wealth to buy these treasures.. I envy that aspect

For hundreds of years. They're PR team work hard.

The lack of gloves in the pic bothers me.

I don’t know if it applies to books, but dress historians and curators are using gloves less and less because the lack of feeling can cause you to unknowingly damage the item. I wonder if it’s the same idea?

Regardless of your 15 year old, new to atheism edge, the bible had tremendous historical significance, regardless of its accuracy.

No? No bingo. You're not blowing any minds here. This is reddit. You're not going to find many biblical realists outside of a few crazy subs.

Nobody here even disagrees with your opinion. It's your attitude that sucks.

You've embarrassed yourself here. I hope that you can find some grace and maturity.

Yes and you’ve taken the high road with telling people that see it differently than you that their attitude sucks.

The codex in the news is nowhere near as culturally significant as the Codex Sinaiticus, but…

A while back, I saw the Codex Sinaiticus at the British Library. It was thrilling to be in the presence of this cultural treasure. As an atheist, I consider it to be like any Bible; a collection of myths, legends, poetry and unreliable history written without any divine inspiration, but it would take a special combination of crassness and ignorance to look on this object and have no thought other than… “fairy tales”.
