Do You Believe The Bible Is Truthful?

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

It's not meant to be.

[DƎRDYPK]

Never red it

[dR3]

Never red it

Same here.

Is that a sin maybe?

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

It's a different kind of truth than you're used to.

[mcZu]

It has been re-written a couple of times, if I'm not mistaken. So, I don't think it's truthful. But I do believe that it contains some truth.

[DrunkenDeath]

I think it does have some truth. I mean, if you come back from the dead, of course you can walk on water. You're a ghost.

[classthe_king]

I'm the real truth like the books burned out of the bible.

[Shadysapathy]

Parts of it....It has been severely changed over the years. But, it does still hold some truth.

[Tornado]

No, as the stories (which are hard to believe anyway) have been altered too drastically. Morally, though, people may use it as guidance so that's a matter of opinion

[AbramIsaac]

Truthful...perhaps.

Factual? No, not at all.

What I mean to say is this: there is truth to be found in some of the stories, on spiritual matters. Love thy neighbor, don't kill, don't steal. These are things that can be considered truthful in the respect that they are good things to live by.

However, the Bible (to me) is not at all factual. I don't believe that it should be considered a historical document, like some consider it to be. I don't think that God made the Earth in 7 days, nor do I believe that he created man from the dirt.

The fact is that some people genuinely believe the Bible to be the book on the true origin of everything. That's frightening, to me at least.

Not at all. It's a useless book of junk.

It's been re-written over 500 times by anonymous authors and translated (badly).

Historically it's been disproven in almost all aspects. Religious people only started saying it was metaphorical etc. After we disproved the actual history of it. Then once most sensible people saw that the ridiculous stories of creation were insane too, they made the same claim.

So which parts exactly are meant to be true and how do you nit pick. It's a book of babble. Christianity just hijacked themes and traditions from Pagan mythology and as for the 'morality' of it - All of the 'good' morality was not originated by The Bible or Christians.

Philosophers had long said what they preach. All The Bible is the source of is hate, homeophobia, stoning, irrational fear, you name it. It's had only a bad influence on humanity and should be used only as toilet paper.

I think the bible has true words. It's just looked at wrong. in most of today's world, guys are afraid of saying nice things to other guys because they're afraid of sounding gay.

lol. maybe.

I agree, and even if you only take into the account that fact that more people have died because of religion than anything else (or however that is exactly).

But I'd still rather just use toilet paper

I agree with this for the most part (being more truthful rathan than factual). Of course the Bible cant be identified as 100% accurate, because there wont be evidence to back it up. But I dont blame people for following the Bible whether they believe in its facts or not, because it gives inspiration. Their stories give out meaning figuratively. I can respect your opinion since you dont talk as if your beliefs are facts & bash the other side by saying it "should be used as toilet paper"
