The purpose and importance of the Bible– or lack thereof





Without a doubt the Bible has been one of the most famous books ever created, ever written , and ever circulated on the planet earth. But, the question remains of whether it has as much meaning today as it has throughout the ages previous. For example, you may be able to find it in most American hotels, but does that even matter anymore given the proclivity of human nature to not care about what is written in it anyway? Going a step further, the debate over what is written in it and when it was written aside, what if the Bible as a whole simply doesn’t matter anymore? Could it be that state of spirituality is able to continue without any help from this book. I guess what I’m trying to say, is that while the Bible may be the most read book of all time do people really ever read it? If they did take it ad literally as they say they did, we may still have slaves and women wouldn’t have much of a right to vote or do anything. Maybe the Bible never even matter to begin with, and it’s a dead doesn’t matter one bit as much now as it did that…?
