The Bible was written by the same people that said the world was flat

What is your opinion of The Bible?

Do you read it? Think about it? Is it part of your religion and if so, what version? Do you think it is just a history book?

Thoughts?

The Bible is a good book, with some great stories in it. Most of the stories have examples of good vs. bad, being a better person or living a kinder life. IMO, The Bible is a good read , there is more sex and violence in it than most other books. (and will I guess that there are more copies of The Bible in print than any other book).

That being said,


I was agnostic until I realized that I am my own God.

A book written to suppress the masses for a few. If it had come out today would it be a best seller or fantasy.:drunk:

The bible was written, and re-written many times over with numerous people putting their own spin on the tales depicted in it.....it is a work of fiction created by someone with a few good ideas on how to lead one's life.

For all it's worth a book by Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Johnathan Kellerman or any other author could have been interpreted the same way.....

BTW: the title isn't quite accurate: I think the bible (in its first version) was written long before people thought of the shape of the world.

In addition: if anyone nowadays said he found a talking snake, he'd be locked up yet billions of people believe it happened just because it was put into a work of fiction.....
