    Please don't bash me for this answer, I am not bashing you for your beliefs, but in my most profound thoughts, I would not abide by a book written by men and translated by men at least a thousand times over. It's a beautiful book, great stories of another world and about a great man named Jesus. I prefer to believe that salvation comes within each person, you forgive yourself for whatever which is sometimes the hardest thing anyone one person can do. WARNING, I do not want anyone trying to convince that I am an oddball for what I say of the bible, as I state I do believe it's a beautiful book but I do not lead my life by it I just take what I like from it like any other book I read that has nice advice....

    • I feel exactly the same way! I think the bible has some great advice, even if you do not believe in god.

    • As this is the general religion category rather than the Christian specific I will give you a useful. However, I will also strongly, but respectfully, disagree with you.

    • I will add as I stated, bible has beautiful stories and it is proven fact the most read book in the world........ By the way, I have found it always so interesting how people assume that those who don't believe in the bible don't believe in God...??????

    • I don't even believe that the Bible contains beautiful stories. Tales of God ordering the wholesale slaughter of men, women, and children with this same God being described as righteous aren't stories I want anyone teaching my children.

    • Quizmo40, you have elevated Bible to the level of a common 72c paperback, else it is pretty mediocre, repetitive and boring;
      apart from the horrible bits spotted by AntigoneRising!
      Bravo. +3
