Does the bible have intrinsic value?
#11
RE: Does the bible have intrinsic value?
As a reference to the culture of a few thousand years ago, and the local ethnocentric god that they worshiped, yes. The bible has value. As some source of morality, or inspired truth, not really. At best it was slightly ahead of its time, but now it's pretty outdated.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
