A book of philosophies read, followed and added to through experiance. It's a big metaphore of the way you should live life in a story of the journeys and adventures of the named "Jesus". Nothing particularly rong with it, just how people over exadurate its importance, it's quite stupid but you know, if people chose to do so then it's their choise and I guess it does set a good example on the hole.
I agree on this one.
The bible is a completely overvalued and
over-interpreted story.
Let's begin with Adam and Eve.
There some schools in america are still teaching that mankind evolved from these two people, completely ignoring the fact that science has proven that we evolved from monkeys and that the picture of adam and eve is simply a metaphor.
The bible is definately not meant to be taken in the strict sense of the word !!!

Have you ever seen god, heaven or hell ?
The idea of heaven and hell is completely invented by humans, simply because nobody has ever seen heaven or hell and then came back to tell us it exists.
So how should we know ět exists ?
Science evolves because we discover new things every day. The bible is outdated, it was written centuries ago, and it wasn't written by god, it was written by humans who changed the bible a bit everytime they did a new translation whatsoever.
Discussions about god and the world can go on forever because there are so many people who all have a slightly different point of view on this theme.
Btw, I agree with paperless but I won't explain this whole control-thing he mentioned, I know what he means but I'll let him explain
i'm too lazy to do this
