In an athiest bookstore, are the Bibles in the fiction section?

No, silly. When they do that, a huge bolt of lightening comes from the sky and fries all of their electrical wiring and blows up their cash registers! Then God sweeps up the store rubble in a huge dust pan and uses it for mulch in heaven. LOL

Christian: Well...um, because it's all in the bible!\n\nGod: That's one religious book.  There are a lot of them, all with contradictory information (sometimes, in the same book).  Why did you pick the bible to believe in?\n\nChristian: Uh...well, because it says in the bible that it's the word of God!\n\nGod: And the other books don't say the same thing?\n\nChristian: Well...um...\n\nGod:  You never even bothered to READ the other books, did you?\n\nChristian: Um...\n\nGod: Did you even bother to read the BIBLE?  Did you ever bother to figure out what it was you actually said you believed, or did you just say, "I'm a Christian" and "I believe in the bible" because that's what your parents told you to say?\n\nChristian: Um...\n\nGod: Or was it the heaven and hell bit?  Did you just say that you were a Christian and that you believed in the bible because you were scared witless of going to hell and you really really wanted to get into heaven?  Nevermind being a good person for its own sake; you people have to be threatened and bribed like little kids...\n\nChristian: Um...so does this mean I don't get into heaven?\n\nGod: (sigh)

Not in the least.\n\nThe bible is a book of fiction just like any other novel, so it would not make the tiniest difference to me.

I read the most of the Bible. It's not the Book that made me an atheist but rather the hypocrisy of a lot of people who claim to be Christians.\n\nNot all, I agree, but too many.

OMG YES!! Just because it is a spiritual book does not mean that the stories in them are supposed to be taken literally...symbolism people! Good question.

It's entirely up to you. \nThere is no absolute proof; therefore, whether the bible is true or false is merely an opinion. \n\nI, however, believe it is mainly fiction. If you compare Christianity to other religions, such as Buddhism, although many Christians are too close-minded to do this, you will see broad comparisons between the messages trying to be conveyed. Buddhism provides guidelines to live by, ways to live in self-actualization. The bible does the same in a different method. The ideas in the bible are hidden; they are dressed in a story as though it's needed to be interesting to be convincable. \n\nI personally take most books in the bible as a story with hidden symbolism. Many people take these stories more seriously; they refer to them as though they were there and that there is no other way. \n\nAs long as you are open to other's beliefs it doesn't matter whether you think the bible is a lie or it is the word of god. Just respect that, although some are placed in a seperate religion stereotype, we are all human and our beliefs are our individuality.

A good one is CBD (Christian Book Distributors) (the address is Christianbook.com)(Don't worry, they don't have just books.... They have Christian t-shirts, movies and films, Bibles, books, games, house ware, music, Children's stuff, Bible dictionaries and concordances, devotionals, and much more!!

I think it is a bunch of stories made up - fairytale like tales more or less.  If people found out that this was true they would probably just toss the book aside - recycle it, burn it, whatever - there will always be the true believers and the book will never go away.

No way! Those books are works of geniuses! They're made out of a writer's imagination and I just dont see how religion can be related. Besides, if you are really strong in your faith you would not be swayed in your belief no matter what you read

I take it you don't even have a Gideon's Bible [KJV] handy... \n\nWell, there are over sixty books in it and they were authored by over four dozen people [prophets, messengers, disciples, scribes, etc.]. \n\nOkay, here are a few Books found in the Old Testament: Genesis; Exodus; Numbers; Leviticus; Deuteronomy; Joshua; Samuel; Job; Psalms; Isaiah; Daniel; etc...\n\nPeace be with you!

Yeah , maybe we should tell then to read something else, anything else.\n\n"How do I know, the Bible tells me so." It has nice stories and its ok to believe whatever you do. I wish people would be more open to finding out what is really true and what isn't. Would you believe every word of the "Weekly World News"? "The New York Times.?Nazis?\nAny one source?

Yes.  The Bible is an amazing book.  Those who are wise will read it and try to understand it.  The fool simply sits back and says "it all a myth"...
