Haha.
For a long time, in earlier Christianity, the bible did not exist. Everything was passed down from word of mouth. But at this point, 2000 years later, I think the bible is very important. There are waaayyy too many people and Christianity is wayyy too wide spread now for all that info to be properly organized and spread without it being written down somewhere.
So yes, I would say the bible is crucial at this point. I'm not sure whether or not Christianity would survive without it because word of mouth can only go so far.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
