Reply #64: re: step outside "the wisdom of the Bible"

[Arugula Latte]

The Bible is a collection of stories. It is filled with "wisdom" such as the Earth was made in seven days and woman was made from a rib bone. It is filled with incest, brutality, and contradictions. It is an interesting book that has influenced countless people, but to take it as wisdom passed down from some diety is laughable to millions of us.

I'm not saying people don't have the right to believe it. I'm just saying that for many of us, holding the Bible up as some paragon of virtue is, as I said, laughable.
