Do you not think that if the Bible really did have this extraordinary, hard-to-reproduce structure that contributed to the sense of the sacred people get from it, it would be more entertaining?
(edited as requested - cheers!)
No. I think people think of sacredness as a particular kind of importance. Importance does not require entertainment. (Note that I'm not defending byrnema's argument -- I'm just saying Eliezer failed to address it at all.)
