Of course it is man made but under the surface there lies a treasure of unspoken value...

Well most people choose to ignore the genocides, the infanticides, the human sacrifices, and so forth and concentrate on the more ...commercial bits like love your neighbor and what not. However, I think if you recognize the true origins of the book, that is a purely human one, you can appreciate the good things and discount the superstitious nonsense without getting too wound around the axle about it. Its when people insist that the thing is the product of a supernatural creator god and is the key to understanding the universe and our place in it that things get a bit unreasonable. Or so it seems to me.

I think there is more to the Bible than cunning fables...devised by Humanity. I see the distinct possibility of a Reptilian influence...and a Reptilian domination of the denominations. I see a combination of evolution and intelligent design. I see the Gods and Goddesses as being a lot like us...and not almighty and all knowing. This is a very confusing and messy subject. It is true that the priests and preachers avoid the nasty parts. I would too! They have enough trouble with their congregations and parishioners as it is! They get paid to be good. But most of the rest of us are good for nothing! Rabbis don't get paid as much. But they get to keep the tips!
