Yes indeed. Add to that the fact that it's a loose collection of
separately produced writings in a number of languages which were
selected by the church to support its arguments and it loses even
more value. The very term 'The Bible' is a carefully crafted misnomer
to give the impression that 'this is THE BOOK' when in fact it wasn't
even A book.

Or maybe even a cushy admin job ;)

The wages of sin are death...but the hours are good and the perks are
