The Bible Could Just Be A Book Meant For Children Or Written By Someone On Drugs
Which would make sense with all the crazy things...

It wouldn't be any different than anything else. There is little reason to believe that children would have thrown us into world wars. There is little reason to believe that drugs would have thrown us into world wars. There is nothing that makes sense of human reasoning in this universe or that makes sense of this universe.

No different than anything else.

Point being...something written for adults or written without drugs is no guarantee of meaning anything.

 Maybe you should now read up on my: ''The Creation Was A Magnificent Sight!'' Debate jsg, if you are looking for something different, it's beginning to get interesting. I don't mind you posting anything in the Against side feel free to let rip, Matey!

It has a lot of details and full of words and promise. Kids like fairy tales or action, not long words. Even when I was little, I thought it was so boring because I couldn't understand. That's the part of it: The Bible is difficult and full of God's mystery. Now, I enjoy reading the Bible, but it's still difficult.

Nah, it's far too boring for either kids or crack heads. And how many druggies in the modern days spontaneously sit down and write thousands of pages about anything at all much less a cohesive religious concept?

The bible was written in an era enormously different from today. Books were extremely rare and tremendously expensive; it would have taken well over 300 hundred animal skins just to create one. Along with the troubles and cost with producing books, illiteracy plagued the world. Only clergies and nobles of the most aristocratic societies could read. One of the reasons why Christianity captivated such a great amount of people derives from the wonder and awe that came from watching a cleric preach the word of "God" from "mysterious scriptures of magic." The fabrication of the bible demanded only the wealthy and knowledgeable of our civilization, not children.

Drugs were an intrinsic element of most past religions; it gave the opportunity for people to experience "sacred moments" which would result in a more potent possession of faith. This leaves much irony as modern religions condemn the use of drugs; a once giant stepping stone in the creation of spirituality. Drugs may very well have been part of crafting the bible.

 Perhaps in a way the bible was meant for children. Not to be read by children, but meant to be read to children. It is children that listen to people who read the bible. This stage is key to lock them in and produce their faith.
