Quote by: Captain Chaos  No, Rick. The Bible is a book inspired by demons to inspire humans to war with each other. This is self evident by the fact that the Bible has a pretense towards good, but actually guides people towards evil. |
That statement exhibits a complete lack of understanding regarding the teachings of the Bible.

God created you with an innate sense of right and wrong. Yet, the Bible teaches you to ignore your god-given conscience, and instead do whatever the Bible tells you.

The Bible is a physical, viable, tangeable writing containing a manifestation of that which we have written upon our hearts. We desire to do things in the flesh, but if our desires (and subsequent actions) are not backed up by the word of God (the Bible), then they should questioned greatly before proceeding.
The Bible sums up God's instruction for us here on Earth. It is a book of life. All we have to do is believe and walk in its teachings. When we are not doing that, we are placing our personal beliefs ahead or above those of God's, and we are substituting ourselves and our beliefs for the trueness of God. It is for that reason that He will allow those who do not accept Him to be eternally damned. It is their choice, and they are making it daily.
The realities of biblical subtlety are of significantly greater importance than even overt worldly actions. The smallest portion of the Bible leads only to life. Everything we pursue in the flesh leads only to death.

Any act, no matter how horrendus, can be justified under the pretense of saving souls from eternal torture.

That's a stretch from what I said, but it is fundamentally correct. Our destiny is not this flesh-and-blood existence. This fleshy existence is a way station (one caused by Adam's original sin) on the path to our final destiny which is an eternal life. It will either be lived with God, or without God. We are choosing our destiny right now.
