Whats the point of my pointing this out you ask? People are ignorant and do whatever it takes to make money. You mentioned yourself that the bible is the best selling book of all time..where do you think that money goes? It doesnt go to a church, it doesnt go to starving children, it goes straight into the pockets of the blood hungry corporations. The bible is nothing more than the biggest mainstay of 'Get rich' gimmicks. But I have got to admit, they did a good job fooling those billions of people and all.

I really don't know where the money people paid for Bibles goes to. And until you show me something, I don't believe you do either. Even IF the money doesn't go to help people in need, there is millions of people who read that book, and live by it, who help by giving away a blanket or a sandwich. There's no getting around that some kind of help gets to people in need because of God and the Bible.
It's not just a book and anyone who has read it would know. You could live your life by a book that's thousands of years old. You can read it over and over again and still not learn everything in it. There's no book like that...at all.
That klingon stuff makes no difference. You failed to see my point. The other guy said that the Bible is basically a history text book. I said why I thought he was wrong. This book is about history and future.
