Very true, I would remind you of the story of Jesus and his testing by Satan.
Satan was quoting scripture to him in order to mislead and deceive him...
But Jesus knew this and fire back with also quoting the scriptures!
This paint us a great picture how Bible can be used for evil,but it self is not evil. Jesus quoted it and won the argument over Satan,because he :
1.knew whole truth
2.knew whole scriptures(who would better know it that a word of God??? :-) )
3.he saw what lies behind Satan`s quoting,he felt his spirit and deeds and hence fore was not deceived.
Also bear in mind a quote from Bible that Satan is pretending as angle of light and wisdom as well as his servants...
So conclusion is that people today do not like or trust Bible because it was used as a tool or a weapon by evil men through out history to hurt and actually enslave others.
What a wicked way of doing harm,by the very thing that was written to help people...
