here's something interesting richard dawkins the well-known british atheists
wrote in the guardian that he actually supports education secretary michael
gross papa plan
wreaking james bibles to every single school
he's actually saying
he would have donated
because even because it uh... he he he says and native speaker of english who
is never read a word of the king james bible
is virginia on the barbarian
but he has a slightly different motives for wanting people
to read the bible he says people who do not know the bible
have been gold into thinking it is a good guy to morality the surest way to
disabuse yourself of this pernicious falsehood is to read the bible
and understand where he's coming from he's saying uh... you know
people who think that the bible as a guide to moral living if they reddit
they would realize that it actually is so the more people to read the bible the
more people that will realize
i disagree i disagree with that because rarely our people does reading the bible
innale the way you would read
a book about science
a fiction story
if typically being talk to you in a way where it's package
by a bunch of other belief and contact which is not going to let you just look
at it and say
you know what this is in a good occurred uh... a dictator of of
morals for me
so i don't actually think that there's more people reading the bible would lead
to more people realizing we shouldn't be living our lives based on the bible i i
just don't agree with and how closely read your average reader scrutinize
uh... every
every word every sentence every
story i mean exactly how you know i don't know how effective it would be if
you were to have someone going through the bible with you explaining to you
the hypocrisy
of modern-day enforcement of
live in a case
teachings like for example well here is where has the swine about homosexuality
and we have this worldwide and wide movement that sites that but here we
have a lovely day guest leviticus talking about sharon
and then you know people don't care about that
hypocrisy double-standard picking and choosing if you have someone explaining
that to you that's one thing
but if you have
the typical cherry picking for right wing morality explanation that you get
the most places where the bible is taught
you're not going at people
enlightened in any
actual sends about the about lack of relevance of the bible to everyday
living
will certainly be uh... proportion of people who read it and
realize it's it's absurdities but uh...
yeah you have to be that say on the whole
probably won't help as much as he thinks i do
