Just say the Bible is written by man and man can make mistakes and you have a perfect justification for being Christian and still avoiding having stupid beliefs about science whenever it collides with religion. Problem solved.
Since when is the bible a "reliable source of truth"? And why do you think it is? Well, common sense says no.
The Bible isn't a reliable source of truth; even in the times it tries to give an accurate date, for example (the time of Jesus's birth springs to mind), it gets the triangulation wrong.
The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground
The bible as it exists today with teachings of love and acceptance stands as a good moral guide, as should all religion.
The Bible is actually made up of a couple of older scripts and texts. What, did you think The Bible fell from the sky, fully composed and bound, ready to teach the savages about joy, love and vengeance?
Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down.
^ Who said it fell from the sky?
acceptance?
The original hebre texts? Maybe. The modern translated versions? No more insightful or truthful than The Garbage Pail Kids Movie.
A single phrase renders Christianity a delusional cult
Dude, I don't think the bible can be "true for you." It's either universal or it's not.
Something is either true or it isn't. You can't "think" something is true. That's ridiculous.
To the m8 that said the bible teaches love and morals and shit. You have got to be kidding me. You are completely ignoring all the fucked up shit it also "teaches".
kay4today, you won\'t convince a single person by saying that. It\'s almost as useful saying \"the Bible is true/false\".
That comment was made over 5 years ago. Stick to the review itself.

The Bible
NOTE: This is written by a Christian. However, I will attempt to be as fair as possible.
The Bible is, and has been, the world's best-selling book for years, due to the controversy it has been causing since ancient times. Christians regard it as God's true revelation to His people, while those outside the faith have varying opinions on it, from "a good book" to "a collection of myths and legends," among others.
While it certainly contains excellent advice on moral living (though to biblical Christians, it is much more than a moral rulebook), some, even within the faith, may find certain parts disconcerting, such as periods of the Old Testament when God instructed the Israelites to war with those inhabiting Canaan (the land promised by God to the Israelites), resulting in the deaths of many. On the flip side, it contains heartwarming ventures as well, such as the powerful story of a God who became a man to save us from our own destruction.
Is the Bible a reliable source of truth? I personally say "Yes, it is," but for you, the reader, I cannot answer that. That is something you will have to answer yourself.
