RuThLeSs RiCk: Do you know and understand that the Bible was written by human beings like us? Do you understand that the Bible was not written in the English language? I have yet to read this great book, but I have an understanding for how it was written/re-written, and more importantly, though I can not prove it with my own skills, I understand that it is often misinterpreted. Much of this can be attributed to the translations and alterations this book has endured over hundreds of years.
If I could get my hands on an original version of the Bible, written in a non-enlish language, I would study that language, and read it. But as of right now, I could not tell you if I was reading a genuine observatrion of Jesus, or some added writings put on paper to help shape the new-age christian philosophy. Religion (including the Bible) has been watered down to fit those who are in control of it. For these reason I shun religion and establish my own relationship with God. If God approaches me and tells me to read the Bible, I will do so without question, and I will believe that it is genuine. But if not, I will have to assume--with knowledge of this worlds corruption--that the Bible is not as it once was.
Christianity teaches to love one another and to be peaceful. Even if it is a false religion, how could it be stupid as fuck?
I don't think it is wrong to read and worship the Bible.
I also do not think it is wrong to question it.
