I feel like most of my christian friends need to be told this. The bible is an amazing book with the word of God in it (supposedly). But the word of God does not equal God. The bible shouldn't be worshiped as it is in some churches. Despite it being divinely inspired, it was written by man so worshiping it would be idolatry to an extent. Which as the bible points out, is a sin. People, it is just a book. Possibly the greatest book ever written and a book that has changed man forever but still it is not a god.
It is more of a written explanation of how and why Jesus led the life that He did. So instead of basking in its greatness, maybe we should actually strive to live christ-like lives instead of just talking and reading about this book.
I think this is a serious problem in Christianity. We all talk about what is just and write and quibble over different parts of the bible. Meanwhile some atheist out somewhere is actually doing some community service and helping the world. But naturally the atheist is going to hell, that bastard. He doesn't know anything about Christ. I bet he doesn't even know who wrote the four gospels. But let me be honest to my christian brothers, he knows and understands more of Christ than most christians do.
Stop talking and start doing.
