Funny thing that I understood god created the devil Why isn't god like Harry Truman with a sign on his desk The Buck Stops Here ***"""" the buck stops here (or with someone) phrase of buck 1. informal the responsibility for something cannot or should not be passed to someone else. "in the past you could spread the blame, but now the buck stops here" Google (my highlight) ****** In the case of god surely there is no (or with someone)?

Non sequiturs to cover up your inability to produce a coherent answer, check that box. One away from bingo.
If ideas were simply one dimensional, that might be true, but they are usually more complex than the above statement.
There is some value in secular wisdom, but when presented in the context of promoting a supernatural worldview, it's value is debatable. I'm in favor of treating the Bible as the collected stories and myths of ancient Jews.
More how? It's supernatural claims can't be confirmed, so it's just the collected and often contradictory sayings of some old time Jews.
You know, saying we're wrong isn't the same thing as saying you're right. But then you're not right, so you can't say that. Doesn't leave you much.
It's not a matter of being "right" or "wrong." Rather than confront an idea, maybe we should face it as a possible alternative. We might learn something about our self and others by doing so.
I did acknowledge that it contained wisdom, but that it's wisdom is independent of supernatural claims. I think I'm being generous. At worst, it's a guide to justify doing horrible shit in the name of god. As an endorsement of slavery, misogyny, homophobia, and witch-burning, it's hardly a moral guide.
