Re: Taking god out of the bible

An objective observer may see the bible as an extraordinary brain-washing device. The book has such power over the humans, even the non-believers. Much is made of ancient mentalities. Everything that is written is through the minds of men.
Phat writes:
Of course it is written through men. Every philosophical concept throughout history has been written through men. The question that we need to ask is IF the philosophy is valid.
All who claim to hear the word of god hear it in their minds.
and hearts?
Every law, parable, prophesy, moral and ethic is the idea of man. If this truth could be adopted the bible would be an entirely different read.
Evidently, it already is a different read for some as opposed to others.
