A fairly large number of religious disciples believe that the Bible is inerrant, every word factual, truth incarnate. They proudly declare themselves to be Bible Followers, often revering the stories as fervently as the god portrayed therein. In other words, their Religion has become their god, or “the same as”. Worshipping ancient literature with that degree of intensity is nothing short of idolatrous. These are specifically the people that should put their Bibles away and put trust in what they claim to have found. The Book is there, but Now is the time to live from convictions, ethics and morals, not for arguing and clinging to scriptural interpretations. If what you've found IS true, then All the ancient stories (factual or otherwise) should be of little daily consequence for you anymore. They were always and only, tales and insights of History's People. How They Interpreted their understanding and Their journey, many centuries ago. It’s whatever ethical, moral and spiritual stepping stones one might glean from the stories that are of importance. It's time to go and live life in Peace. Write Your story. If you're unwilling or unprepared to do so, you'll simply continue clinging to old passages and pages, believing that being glued to ancient literature is Your Final Directive. When you should know very well by now that it’s not. It’s Not how well you quote, or interpret antiquity, it’s how you Live and what you DO NOW to express understanding. This must finally be true for devout followers of all religious doctrine and dogma.
