I also do not believe the Bible is rigged.

Don't think it's the absolute word of God or absolute truth, but it is absolute proof of what those followers, the recorded prophets and messengers who believe in the One God of Abraham, thought about in trying to understand how mankind could follow what they understood to be God's Will On Earth.

This required thoughtful living, questions, learning, understanding, and seeking inspiration in words written before their times, and what was happening in their own.

If you take a bigger picture snapshot there are various sections in it, the most basic being Old and New Testament, but within this you have psalms, "the Book of" four Gospels. It is a book that has been assembled and grown over time in different eras

Its biggest picture is a book that is as old as the followers of The One God of Abraham who have been recording their thoughts about how to live their lives according to His Will

It lives today in physical and electronic form in print and cyberspace and in the minds of followers

What is "rigged" is how it is applied and used and exherted. Bible meet fallible mankind

Some use the Bible as a hammer of God. Thankfully the majority do not

Couch thank you for another contribution in your continuing series.


Oh and Perry, your post can be summed up in a Dutch expression that says "verbeter the weerld, begin met je eigen" "if you want to make the world a better place, start with yourself" It was instilled into me as a kid. It was used as a rebuke sometimes, as in a situation where you might complain about someone else's action



If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
