Why do I always have to be the heretic?

I'm not about to tell you what to think about the Bible. Perceive it as you will. And I will do the same.

To me, a non-believer, the Bible is a book. It's an ancient text, but not the most ancient. It's an artifact of an earlier time. It's a record, mostly fictional, of the development of the world as understood by primitive and unlearned people. It has no impact on my life.

I like books. I'm an avid reader as well as being a writer. But I don't worship books, I don't consider them divine or divinely inspired. I certainly wouldn't consider defending a book against negative opinions with anything more than my personal counter-opinion. I am also under no obligation to share anyone else's opinion of a book.

Love the Bible if you wish. But don't demand or expect others to necessarily share your devotion.

Back to my question.
Jews vs. Christianity < === > conflict.
Is that correct ?
