My problem with the Bible
Advertisements [?]
#1. Even if it were the word of God, you're still dependent upon human translators. I doubt many of us read ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek - except Mel Gibson, who is Blessed Among All Hollywood Actors :freak: . We're at the mercy of their whims, political ambitions, etc.

#2. How do we even know the Bible is the correct Bible? There are many books that were written back in the day that were left out. The Gnostic gospels, for instance. Plus quite a few from the Old Testament that never found their way in the Bible.

It just kills me when right-wingnuts accept the Bible blindly, not even daring to question it.
