Eh?

Will someone tell me what's so great about this post by PZ Myers? If you read the comments, people rave about it, but frankly, it just doesn't seem to be very insightful. Snippets: I am not a religious person by any means (that is a bit of an understatement), but I can feel something of the same reverence for the Bible that I do for a piece of bone. It's a record, spotty and incomplete and flawed, of human lives, that leaves out far more than it includes. It's not as pretty as a bone, but then it is representative of some of the ugliness of human history, as well as of some of the poetry. I can appreciate it as a slice of a few thousand years of the events and beliefs of one fairly influential tribe of people. There are a lot of lives and time, mostly unmentioned, bound up in that book. And:

And, you know, there are people now who claim that one book is sufficient, that it is complete, that it is enough to explain who we are and where we came from.

Strangely enough, these are the same people who claim to be "spiritual". To me, though, they are the ahistorical, unthinking ones who fail to offer the proper reverence due those who have gone before.

Never mind that those silly people think it's ALSO the revelation of God of the Universe who happens to be nothing less than the source and center of all meaning. Never mind that. Silly "spiritual" people. (ht: Decorabilia).
