I took a Bible as literature class last year and I have to say, I was not impressed by my teacher's going on about how good a historically accurate source the Bible was.
I myself am not a Christian, but instead consider myself Gnostic (meaning "seeking truth"  )My question is, since the bible is so religiously biased, what do you guys think on the issue of using the bible as a historical document to find information? |

There is alot of history in the Bible. Just because it's in story form doesn't mean it's not history.
I can't name any off the top of my head, but if you really research it there is definitely history in there. Jesus Christ for starters. Whether divine or just purely human, he is apart of history as recorded in over 150 other books of that time. You're not going to get alot out of the Bible if you're hearing it from a secular source. Yeah, they have their own opinions, but a Christian is the best person to hear it from. You wouldn't ask a Buddhist to tell you why Christianity is a valid religion, would you? If you're going to criticize the Bible, and any other religious work with out really researching it, then go burn in hell. Ignorant bastards. |
