    Outside the Ten Commandments (supposedly), the Bible was written entirely by fallible humans - these assholes keep forgetting that part & act like it’s 100% perfect (which we know it’s not simply by its own self-contradictions).

      It is also important to not forget about how the Bible was formed.

      What we know as the Bible is a collection of books, selected by a committee during a conclave centuries ago.

      Any decision made by humans in power and influence will inevitably be favoring their own goals and politics.

      There are plenty of other Christian texts that were excluded, how would they have changed Christianity if they were included?

        Also an awful lot of it is about being submissive and letting people take advantage of you. At least based off what I see getting quoted all the time. Weird how it’s always people who’re trying to control you quoting it.
