The bible does just that.
If Christians do not state the bible is truth, on what do they base their beliefs?
In no way did I say Christians, I said Christianity.
You can't tell the difference between the individuals and the organization?
Shame.

You call that "Imply"? Funny, you interpret something for yourself and put it on me... have at it. It's funny.

They don't say the Bible is truth, they say the truth is in the bible.
If I read a book in the Bible and believe it to be a true story, as close as they can get it through multiple translations anyway, that doesn't mean you can pluck out a verse and say that's what the bible says? It's the same as you can't pluck a post out of this thread and say, that's what the thread says, or an entire thread and say that's what the Cellar says.

Also, the Christian faith is based on Jesus Christ's teachings, the old testament is just what led up to that point, so it's truth is a moot point.

Yes, you also said Christianity. Are you trying to claim it is less a blanket indictment of all Christians? Shame indeed.

OK, lets not call it imply, lets call it the outright fucking lie that it is.
