Should religions be classified as Fake News? The bible seems to say yes.

Absolutely amazing how you can make anything appear as anything you want when linking up several bible quotes from different bible books.

(well, not that amazing)


So anyway, the bible cannot be classified as fake news, mainly because it has been around in various forms for centuries and is no longer new..

Is the bible true? Who knows? It was written by dozens of different men- human beings, mortals - each one put their own spin on things and varnished things in the way they thought it'd attract the most customers, who would then put money in the coffers. It was quite possibly true to them. Use it as an extra guidebook for simple lessons on how to live a decent life and as a storybook to read to children.

Fake? Does it matter?

Good post, I appreciate your objectivity.

A decent chunk of the Bible has been historically substantiated through non-biblical scrolls, tablets, and other ancient writings. From a historical point of view, it's safe to say that the Bible is probably about as accurate as any other history book that details the goings on 2,000+ years ago.

The religious part of it, as with any religion, is taken with faith and it's an individual and personal thing.

Modern organized religion is very, VERY different than what the original churches were outlined to be. The "church" is a group of people that meet, worship, and fellowship. The modern church is a business with payroll to meet and bills to pay.

This is just one man's personal opinion, but modern organized religion is a mockery of what God / Jesus established in biblical times.
