Okay, calling someone gullible for believing in the Bible is like calling someone gullible for being a pacifist. Belief in the accuracy of scripture is part of a whole network of beliefs; examining any one of them out of context may cause it to seem irrational, but the whole network is pretty darn consistent. In any case, it's just arrogance to think that those of us who believe that scripture is accurate are 'gullible'. I don't think that people who don't believe in God are stupid; why do you have to call us gullible?
