Ban The Bible

[So we're told,]

So ban something that people believe so strongly in?
Does that make any senses whatsoever?

If I told you to BAN tv, because it provoked violence, would you do it?
No, because its used in your everyday life.

Now take that into the form of Christianity.

Why would you want to ban a book of morals?

I think the creator of this thread does not actually wish to ban the Bible. He was making a point.

However, as far as the morals of the Bible go, if God had inspired that book, he could have done a lot better at coming up with a moral guide.

As I re-read this topic, this post seemed like a good one to reply to. Many years ago; my Church sent missionaries to a South-Sea island, (Papua, New Guinea), and if it wasn't for the Bible; some of those people over there would eat you when you go for a vacation there.

Your comment raises the notion that a Biblical role model, as you called it, is "perfect" in every way; when in fact the Bible does not make this claim. The Bible does, however make the claim that God is willing to work with us; and within us.

We do have some choice we can make there, as did all the "Bible greats."

Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
