The Bible

[Will_518]

I'm not a very religious person, but i still read the Bible when i'm very bored or want to tell some people on MSN to shut up.

There are many thing one can say about the Bibile, but is it actually a good book to read?

I mean, is it a work of art? why? what are the philosophical ideas behind it? and how do you know that?

What do you guys think about the Bible?

The bible sucks most of it was probably made up to provoke tension amonst religions.

[Will_518]

hey! what do you mean?! Islam and lots of other religions came after the Bible.

[Neo 721]

Maybee but it was aimed at mostly christianity to give advantage to that religion

[Will_518]

hey! do you even know what the Bible is?! It's what Christianity is based on, not "aimed at christians" it's not a chocolate bar.

And there's no maybes in this.

Christianity doesnt realy give equal oppertunities all its followers

[Will_518]

What does that have to do with anything?! (and while on the matter, of course they do, Christians anywhere, anyone are all equal, as brothers and sisters)

Stay on the topic, or get out.

OK but the fact that millions of people put all this divotion into one book devoted to somthing that probably doesnt exist is somewhat pointless it could do woth replacing.

[Will_518]

To the people who believe in it, it's not pointless. And why does it need replacing? and what with? Is there a better book than the Bible for Christian values?

[Neo 721]

Most of the ideals have long gone.
