RE: Here we go again.
You might consider the fact that not even every Christian insists on the literal truth of scriptures - possibly even most do not.
Then they, by definition, cannot call themselves Christian. To 'follow Christ' means to obey God..how do we know how to Obey God? By picking up His Holy Book, reading it, and following it. Now..I know we're going to go down that old tired path on 'What About this Mosaic Law, or that Mosaic Law. Christ fulfilled those Laws during His Life, and He passed that fulfillment to us (which is why we are saved through Him) on the Cross.
any more than western society "attacks" Islam when we don't conform to the Qur'an.
To even draw a picture of Muhammed is considered an attack on Islam by some in that belief.
Why is this an "attack on Judeo-Christian belief?"
Simple..because it attempts to relegate Christianity to a mere 'hallucination'. Of course, you're going to say what makes Christianity the correct path? Because God saved me and granted me eternal life through His Grace and Love. I can't do anything to earn that love; it is freely given. Just as any parent (deep down) loves their children regardless of what they do, God loves me...(and everyone) He might not like things I sometimes do, but that never changes His unceasing Love. I cannot do anything to earn my way into eternal life; it is mine simply by trusting Him and believing in His Son, Jesus Christ. That, my friend, is how I know I am on the correct path.

He stated a plausible explanation for observable data. We have this old book that claims to be non-fiction, yet is full of out-of-the-ordinary events. Why is it an "attack" to say, "you know, they could have been hallucinations"? Especially when he can identify a specific compound, known to produce similar responses, known to be available in the region in question, and known to have been perceived as having medicinal properties.
You might consider the fact that not even every Christian insists on the literal truth of scriptures - possibly even most do not. The fact that not everyone conforms to narrow-minded, conservative Christian delusion isn't an attack, any more than western society "attacks" Islam when we don't conform to the Qur'an.
