The Holey Bible

The Bible is far from fiction!

Oh you have guts calling it fiction, though I agree. I do not believe it was written to be taken literally, and some historians confirm it wasn’t. Love that last line, “Something for everyone.” 😆

Monty Python's "Life of Brian"! The movie came out when I was in college. My best friend had a copy of the script & we read through it together, enjoying every bit of it. Because of the response & protest of ignorant right-wing Christians who thought it heretical (even though it's clear throughout it's a case of mistaken identity--which, considering the number of people at the time claiming to be the Messiah at the time & ever since, seems quite historically apt), I didn't get to see it until decades later when it finally came out on disc. Still one of my favorites.

And that's why the world is the way it is. We're taught to follow the bible, and so people do.

It's basically a hodge-podge of chonicle, myth, hymn, and law-book, compiled in the ghettos of Babylonia. Love this, Mike, great statement.

Mike, I am a believer in Jesus and have struggled with Scripture passages. I think I've come to believe the Bible was written by many through the lens of ancient cultures but ultimately points to Christ and unconditional love and grace. The more I study it, the more I see themes, connections, word play, and humor even if I think the Creation stories are allegories, ancient kings tended to exaggerate their exploits, etc.

its good

Whoaaaa, I wish I had guts like you! I received a lof of backlash for my story The Bible is a Hoax as I posted them in non-Vocal groups as well. But we never know from where these people come from so be prepared. I loved your Haiku!

Mike, three lines that spoke volumes.

Oh dear Mike. I am glad you are sturdier than I. This could bring quite a few bombastic comments. Reviews, tho, are subjective and do encourage healthy discussion, frequently polarizing
