I beleive religion was a way for ancient peoples to justify why horrible things happen.
If your mother dies and you beleive she's going to Heaven it comforts you.
If you hate someone, and they commit what you beleive as a "SIN", THEN you feel the right to hate them.
Religion is also a way people try to control or limit other people.
The Bible is factual. Are you gonna tell em that a book, written by more than 60 authors, over a spam of more than a thousand years a fiction? A book that all that it said at the beginning came to pass at its end? A book that history as evidence on that it's true is fiction? A book that even now, some of the things that it says is coming to pass. The Bible is not fiction, it's true. Read it then judge, and when you do judge, don't say it's not true cause it is, it's just left to you to believe.

So you believe a talking snake (with legs) tempted Adam and Eve to eat a magical fruit tree. And that predators such as lions ate fruit before that?
There will always be debate on whether the Bible is real or not. I myself believe it isn't, there isn't any specific original Bible to prove it is there? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Something that valuable would've been stolen, destroyed and sold about ten thousand times over by now, if it was real.
I'm an Atheist, I'm a godless heathen if you will. I have nothing against religion, so long as they don't try and cram it down my throat.
The day there is proof the bible is real, is the day when the seven horsemen of the apocalypse rain havoc and mayhem down upon is.
Ain't gonna happen.
