If everything has a purpose then evil doesn't exist

[R-Farmer]

Why is the Bible even such a big deal. I think it can be helpful but by no means is it "important" to read. You can live without it.

for the same reason it is good to have good credit.

You can live without good credit. you can even live well having never once used credit to buy anything.

However life with good credit is made a whole lot easier if, like the Bible is used responsibly.

As Being given direct one on one access to God makes life easier. or at least this is the case for me.
