It is understood and no secret that Christianity was used for social control but not necessarily in nefarious manner, because in some fashion, there has to be order. But now, a group of people in the 4th Century who may have been poor, uneducated, so on and so forth are dedicating their lives to solely getting into heaven. With the advancement of humans mentally, physically, and emotionally, is buying into an ancient "story" hindering your ability to reach your human potential? Does it make sense to live under laws that were applicable centuries ago, in completely different context? Just my thoughts...not necessarily my beliefs....

So...the Bible: It's celebrity over the years has exploded, surprisingly, making it an integral element to American pop-culture. But is it possible that the Bible's ubiquity and spreading the Gospel has backfired for the Bible making it an easy target for stark repudiations and blasphemy? Think about it: We don't casually argue the viability of, let's say, Paul Revere vs. Israel Bissel, or even, whether golf is truly a Black activity considering how a Black man invented the golf tee; but the Bible on the other hand has been a revolving topic, pedestaled by believers and unbelievers over the polemic whether Jesus Christ was real, if God is alive, Heaven and Hell, and even the preciseness of current events that are said to be predicted and outlined by the Bible--hundreds of years ago! Such reports and proclamations (even if they are from a book) are certainly going to arouse the emotions of people all over, and let's face it--some "authors" are just ahead of their time and will never find their contemporaries; nonetheless, the Bible has been puffed up in such a way that it's modernity and credibility is questionable. Is it safe to say that now, in the early 21st Century, that the Bible has lost it's novelty and the only way for it to regain it is by....keepin' it on the hush?
