Therefore I ask now:

What do you think of Bible?
I personaly think the bible was a truth but having been modified so many times, who now knows the truth of it?
Why do people freak out when talking about Bible?
I dont know?
Why do 90% of the people who did not even read the Bible dare to bash it?
I never have and do not plan to either?
Is the book judicable by the acts of people who by the way did not even read it?
I dont know, its a book but who knows if it is actually truthfull?
Why is such a great effort of many to discredit the Bible and yet they are not successful?
I wont discredit anything that I do not understand.
Why people connect Bible with religion?
I connect the bible with religion simply because when ever religion is mentioned to me , so is the bible.
Why people avoid often to even talk of Bible?
I dont avoid it, simply never read it in its entirety.
Why Bible is the most translated ,read and printed book ever and yet the most persecuted,burned and forbidden ?
because of whispers?, tell some one something, ask them to pass it on. You wont get the same story at the end of the line.
Why so much effort to root out the Bible and yet none successful?
Dont know.
Why so many people were tortured and brutally murdered by Catholic and other churches because of possessing the Bible or reading it?
Because we humans cannot agree.
Why despite obvious attempts of certain mistranslations that still the message is crystal clear?
Maybe it is written in a way that we want to read it


Well I know the answer, some of you saw it from my posts and threads. Some disagree and some agree but so few opinions from the heart!
Many answers I read were a second hand one...

Now really WHY on all above?

Well , these are my honest answers, they come from someone who sits on the fence, some one who needs to see what is there, some one who can read the latest novel and say, um, that was good. I never have read the bible, i do not yet plan too soon either. If I decide to gain a faith of any sort it will be with my heart involved and not my head.
