Common Myths About the Bible on Social Media
Scroll through social media and you’ll find no shortage of people who call themselves “Bible experts” while repeating the same recycled talking points. These arguments aren’t thoughtful philosophy or careful scholarship—they’re surface-level attacks meant to discredit faith. This isn’t aimed at people who are sincerely searching for truth, but at the shallow, mocking arguments that circulate online. Many who use them don’t realize they’ve built a belief system of their own—a creed of mockery that repeats itself like ritual.

Myth #1: “The Bible is Just a Fairy Tale”
Christians are mocked as if we believe in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, praying to an “invisible Sky Daddy.” It sounds bold, but it ignores history. The greatest minds in science, philosophy, and art—Newton, Pascal, Dostoevsky, Bach—were shaped by Scripture. The Bible is the most studied, preserved, and historically reliable book in the world.
⸻
Myth #2: “Nobody Actually Reads the Bible”
Most of these arguments come from stray memes quoting Leviticus out of context. Research begins and ends with a Google search or TikTok clip. Proverbs 18:2 says, “A fool has no delight in understanding, but in expressing his own heart.” It’s easier to repeat slogans than wrestle with truth.

Myth #3: “Christians Are Judgmental”
Often, people invade Christian comment threads to mock boundaries as “judgmental.” But living by convictions is not hatred—it’s obedience. Ironically, those demanding tolerance often show the least of it.
⸻
Myth #4: “God Approved Slavery”
This claim confuses biblical servanthood with modern race-based slavery. In the Old Testament, it was usually indentured servitude or debt repayment—regulated with protections, limits, and release (Exodus 21, Deuteronomy 15). God did not endorse oppression; He restrained it.
