Good post Chris...I agree.
Another thing Christians and Catholics seem to 'forget' is that the bible has gone through many translations and 'edits' over the centeries. So many that it is very possible that the text has lost its true meaning. You also have to take into account the 'policial' views during the centeries that influenced how the bible was translated. It, I believe, is why there are so many versions of the bible floating around.
Don't get me wrong...the bible was a good reference for what was right and wrong during the time it was written....as that was all early christians had to go by. But for the most part I see the bible as nothing but a fancy story book. But I know behind every myth/legend/story there is a little bit of truth. What is the truth that the bible is based on? Who knows for sure...only time will tell.
