Originally posted by Agergwow that's bitter. Not only do i think that its a nonsense that persons have it rammed down their throats, remember i am also from birth a citizen of the United Kingdom, indeed, and yet after 12 years of education i knew nothing of the Bible or its contents, despite any pretensions of religiosity that I may have harboured. I contend that as per the post, the general public have not one iota of an inkling as to what it actually contains, proving that your assertion, that persons are indoctrinated, that its shoved downs person throats a complete and utter nonsense. Your prejudice is clearly being demonstrated here dear Agers, to a superlative degree.
I don't see why it necessarily deserves to be highly regarded. Yes we can acknowledge that it forms part of the history of humanity, but that it deserves veneration is a tall ask. That it is so widely distributed speaks less of its virtue and more of the barbarism via which it was forced onto people throughout history. Even to this day people have its contents ar sports across the globe, does that mean I should have any respect for them? I think not! 😞

I see nothing wrong with the sheep mentality as long as they have
a good shepard to guide them. Against all odds, it continues.
For which I am very grateful.

I am now able to step back, and given *any* holy book regard it with the same bias as any other; that is to say they're all equally barmy. Same goes with tea leaves reading, tarot reading, and whatever other garbage man has invented to fool themselves and others.
i hope you mean the good news!!
