I don't see why the bible is needed at all. Religions SHOULD not exist. But they do. I believe that is a human failing. The point of religions is to make people feel good. No matter what it is. People get strength and support from their house of worship, and it helps them pull through troubles.
But that is the problem.
People shouldn't need that support. We should be able to pull strength from ourselves.
But alas, it is not to be so. This quandry of religion is a purely dependant thing. Religions depend on faith. Facts depend on evidence. The bible should not be taken literally, for there is no evidence. No evidence, no certain facts. Now faith, on the other hand, can inspire greatness, and should not be short-handed. With faitth, siper-human events, willpower, and determination can arise. Some call it fanatasism, others God-strength. Whatever the case, Religions have upsides and Downsides.
