Millions of believers are Ignorant of Bible Contents

The Bible is the most-printed and most freely distributed book in the world, with many hundreds of millions of copies believed to be in existence. The bible books sold in bookstores have always been, at any time, a best sellers. Unfortunately, the bible is considered holy, a book written by inspired authors of God -therefore it need not be read. Its verses need only to be taken for granted; especially as expounded by the priest on the pulpit during mass on sundays or by the evangelical hypocrites on TV during weekdays. The big question is why isn't the bible read as any book should be read for its messages, if any? It is simply because properly and thoroughly read the bible is the most effective way to learn how to become an atheist! Indeed, only scholars and atheists are more familiar with bible contents. Millions upon millions of believers have yet to seriously read and study the bible. A book that is full of myths, legends, contradictions, inconsistencies, absurdities, obscenities, vulgarities, atrocities, lies and deceptions. In order to get to that conclusion, however, one must only seriously read the bible from cover to cover. No extra sources or inspirations are necessary. If we turn the bible on page one we will find two completely different descriptions of the same event - creation of man. In these descriptions in which various things were created is completely different. This is more than enough to conclude that one of these descriptions must be a lie. So we have found that the first page in the bible is a lie. The rest are full of completely different, mutually exclusive descriptions of the same event. Using the above resoning for each of these pairs of descriptions we can conclude that at least one of the descriptions can not be true. And this is how we can make the conclusion that Bible is book written by inspired lunatics. If authors inspired by logic can reveal the truth behind the multiplication table, why couldn't authors inspired by God reveal as well the truth behind the revelation table? As a matter of fact, insane messages written in the bible are about how life is not perfect as it is a defect. Therefore for the sake of revelation, not evolution - what we must seek is not reconstruction, but only obliteration; especially for the sake of gaining after death eternal salvation. The bible is the book of church - the Jewish church stands behind the Old Testament. The Christian church stands behind the New Testament. Behind both testaments, however, stand the priesthood industry. In the meantime, religious politicians are "voted" as the most admired in our poor and backward country. Even the highest court, the Supreme court, cringe before the power of organized religion. Our scientific community is so cowed it dares not challenge the religious liars that make for our sick society. Educators, especially college and university professors are paralyzed in fear, not even hoping to confront the sick monster known as organized religion keeping us aimless as a people and rudderless as a nation. Oh yes, millions of our citizens, by and large, remain religious illiterates. The bible is accepted but not read. Yet, on this book, as the alleged word of God, rests the entire superstructure of our faith, beliefs, and values that inspired the birth of the Dark Ages during the 5th century. I asked it before, I ask it again: After the college educated theologians have proved with evidences that God of the bible exists here, there, and everywhere - how would such information improve the lives of millions of spiritually malnourished, culturally impoverished, and indeed, materially pulverized Filipinos in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century?
