i really appreciate everyone here! i think whats really important is people caring and loving one another. thats what this world needs. i find lots of good input from this site. its probable that the bible itsself is imperfect due to tampering, this is pretty much evident. however, there is lots of truth in there too!

there is nothing wrong with believing in the bible. however, the bible could of been distorted as any message is distorted when passed on and on. however, the bible like you said, has many positive messages and lessons in their like treating those as you would want to be treated or loving your enemies despite their persecution and faults as they might be misguided.

the problem is, the bible and religion has been used to control mass amounts of people through fear and damnation by the people enforcing it or hundreds of years. there has been many wars over nonsense. quotes such as ''god wills it.'' priests making money off of people by making them believe they can pay their way to heaven. people doing all sorts of sins, the thinking if they get baptized their sins are gone and it will not come back to bite them in the butt. some popes and religious figures became corrupted and used the bible and religion for their own personal gains and agendas. i cannot even count the times i have seen people force christianity down people's throat and would treat others with disrespect and anger when they did not want to become a christian.

another reason why some people discredit the bible is the fact that e.ts exist. if there is hell, do they go to hell too. nobody knows the answers until you die. i don't think god would create all these souls just to see half go to heaven,and have go to hell. what was the point of creating them in the first place? did all those before jesus who believed in many gods and the ancient humans go to hell too?

on the law of one, nobody is telling you to take it as fact. you can believe or not. your choice. i am personally skeptical because you never know if it is just a pile of crap.

i don't view the bible as the sole source of how we are supposed to live, but don't push it away either because it does have good lessons and teaching mixed with some distorted things.

whether the bible is factual or not, fake or real, it doesn't matter. what matters is how you live your life and how much you love others. it doesn't matter what you believe in.
