What do you believe?

What I think of it?Well actually I have read only the New Testament, not the whole Bible.For me the Bible is not just a book that you can read and understand like you are reading a comic book for example.You need to read it multiple times to get what is in there and try to understand it, not just using some quotes from it, that even you don't understand and claim that you are right for something(like that tutorial guy).

The Bible teached me a lot of things in various ways, lets say how to behave with people, to be tollerant, to help someone who needs help, etc.The Bible also teached me my main moral and ethics (my parrents teached them to me too lol).For me every right choice is in the Bible.

Too bad that there are people out there who claim that they are religious, but they aren't.Sometimes these people use the Bible and the religion for their own porpoises(such as donating your house to them in the name of God, getting all your money, etc.) which makes me feel bad.I feel like this guy(tutorial man) is the same, never seen him, but still I have such a feeling.

So thas quite all I think about the Bible.

Frankly, i think the Bible is a book that utilizes the art of cold reading at it's earliest stage and took hundreds of years to come up with, i admire the art used, but i don't particularly like what was written.

Errr.. could you please elaborate? I don't really get the cold reading in it.

And let's be honest, living by the book isn't all that bad because the rules are quite ordinary in current societies. The only thing is that I'm pretty sure there is not a single person who truly lives or lived by the book.
