QUESTION Salon Retracts Article Criticizing Bible; It Didn’t Meet “Editorial Standards” – Friendly Atheist

Do you guys remember when I posted this article???
From this article; She talked about how having multiple authors (because “God” didn’t write it) led to “two different creation myths, three sets of Ten Commandments, and four contradictory versions of the Easter story.” She explained the possible forgeries, the mixing of literary genres, the possible mis-translations, and the numerous examples of “inside baseball” that made sense to the writers but not necessarily to people reading it today.

Tarico included plenty of links to back up what she was saying, and this was the sort of article that you’d expect to see on sites that allow for opinionated pieces about religion.

But after Salon reposted the article and tweeted it out, they must have received a lot of push back from religious people, because the next thing you know, they unpublished the piece for an odd reason.
