is the bible a fabrication?

The Bible holds the teachings of the ages.......learn it, live it and be one with Mother Nature.

No, the bible contains select teachings from a very select crowd actually. Ever heard of the Council of Nicea? While I like your pantheistic take on the bible, it doesn't really correlate well with established gospel. 'Subjugating the land, conqueroring the animals..' and all that...
And honestly, the concept of female spirituality is a more modern trend with christians rather than foundations of whatever bible they ascribe to.

Ephesians 5:22-24
"Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything."

Deuteronomy 22:20-1

"If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girlâ??s virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her fatherâ??s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her fatherâ??s house."

Yeah, lot of respect and reverence for the fairer sex back then :(


I think there is a 'Great Mother' of sorts, maybe something akin to Carlin's The Great Electron, but whatever it is it cares nothing for the temporal politics and sensitives of mankind. When we insist on viewing everything through an anthropomorphic lense, we only pander to our own egos and sense of self-importance while depriving ourselves of real knowledge.

The cosmos cares nothing for our collective need to place easy-to-comprehend answers to every aspect of life. Apart from attempting to inspire proactive social behavior, religious texts like the bible are just methods to reassure people that everything's gonna be alright (provided you conduct yourself in an endorsed fashion).

The bible is a rich literary tradition worthy of study, and having said that it needs to stay the hell out of our classrooms and government offices. There's already a great repository for that subject - they call it church! ;)

PRAISE DOG!

i take it you didn't even take the time to notice the picture of 'the cannabis grow bible' that was associated with that post...?

very sad.

the bible is just a set on anoalogies and storyies to help people live their life and to explain things so they dont spend their life thinking about life and not paying there taxes. it is in essence about love peace and respect. but this seems to have been lost

atleast to me if you have to question something of this magnitude, it's just more fuel to disbelieve it.

Then people wouldnt have to have faith. Because if its a proven fact then everyone would believe.

analyzing faith isn't part of the question, the question is, is the bible a fabrication.

since none of it can be proved i'm inclined to go out on a limb and say yes.

Then you took it wrong I'm afraid. No, the pic was noted and summarily ignored actually, the bit about 'being passed down the ages' playing no small part. I'm pretty sure I shouldn't have to note the christian bible theme present in this thread either...
