Sorry frow...
It's just a random collection of short stories collected together in one big BOOK. ITS A BOOK! Take a look at the DrunkDriver post in the PBS and explain whyyour god would let something like that happen. Doesn't god only punish the wicked? What do you think this girl did that was so bad to deserve that? Fornicate? Disobey her father? Use the lord gods name in vain?And yeah, I know - "It's all part of his plan"

Hey man, I offer no opinion on the legitimacy of the word, I merely present a fairly commonly-helf belief for discussion.
Besides, I was expecting some vaguely amusing answers. I didn't mean to start the ninth annual atheist's rally.

Just responding to some criticisms (in love, despite the biting intolerance of others).
Ah... if I were just speaking of Buddhism, Hinduism or Islam... everyone would be so much more friendly & accepting. Funny how that it.

The bible is a piece of poorly written fiction based on handed down stories, heresay and conjecture.

Danski watches the thread lurching towards the nearest village, steadying its head with one hand to compensate for shoddy needlework.

what is so interesting is that people whom, id assume consider themselves intellectual actually make statements about the validity of the bible...
this topic isn't even up for debate. you could never muster enough evidence to PROVE or DISPROVE the bible.
the validity of the bible aside,
either you believe in God or you don't. simple as that. no need to debate his existance since you can't prove or disprove the supernatural with physical means.

Gor blimey, I was saying that SOME PEOPLE hold the OPINION that the validity of the bible may have suffered over time.
I really wish I didn't have to disclaim myself like this.
And guys, ease up on frow, the dude's allowed his own perspective.

And I'm not an atheist, I'm agnostic. I think it's incredably presumptious and foolish to think that a human beings puny little intellect can divine the mysteries and thinking of god. The universe has been around for billions of years before we even started looking at the sky. How can you presume to understand and interpret the thinking of the thing/being/whatever that made all of this possible?

Frow,
Don't complain about intolerance, you are obviously a fan of it considering your affinity for the Christian Bible.
Exodus 19:5
Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine

It amazes me that people automatically assume that you must check your intellect at the door to accept the Bible as God's Word and believe that it is inspired & infallible.
Such people are merely pseudo intellectuals in my book. Why not research it yourself before spouting off your tired skeptical dribble.
Allow me to recommend an excellent book, if you are intellectually honest enough to look into it:
