This is a reply to a guest article on Jonathan MS Pearce’s atheist blog, by “Lex Lata”: a sharp and civil atheist commentator (a professor?), with whom I I reply to an atheist regarding Joshua's conquest, and show how in two areas, Bible proponents agree with skeptics, while profoundly disagreeing on a third aspect.

2 Samuel 1:8 – Did the Amalekite kill Saul or did Saul kill Saul? From GotQuestions:
The clear answer from the biblical text is that Saul killed himself and that the Amalekite’s story was a fabrication. The biblical text records the story the Amalekite gave but does not affirm it as true….
This would be the correct order of events: Saul is wounded in battle and then kills himself by falling on his own sword. An Amalekite comes across his dead body and takes his crown and armlet. The next day, the Philistines find Saul’s body, behead him, strip him of his armor, send the report, and fasten his body to the wall of Beth Shan (1 Samuel 31:10).
“So I went to the doctor. We had all the tests done and a few weeks later he told me she had Friedreich’s ataxia, a disease that only a few people had in New Zealand, and that her life expectancy was about 21 years.”
SUPPLIED
Lindy Bennett and her “bestie”, dad Steve, about the time she was diagnosed as having Freidreich’s ataxia. Steve told Lindy she had the disease, a genetic degenerative disease that kills nerves and tightens muscles, but he didn’t mention the doctor’s prognosis. “How can you tell a 9-year-old they’re not going to live long? But at school she had a computer. She came home one day and said, ‘Dad, I looked up Friedreich’s ataxia and I don’t want you to be upset, but this is what’s going to happen . I knew already what she told me,’” Steve said.
