The bible is the most influential text in the history of humanity. Over 2000 years after its scripture people still use it, and call it the sacred book by which their ethic is based on. Through history the Catholic Church and the different elite societies have added and erased parts of it. Which can make it very dangerous to society; itself, religions are dangerous. The first chapters of Genesis contain a very important content which people can interpret differently (one of the big problems of the bible). The issues spoken of recall the beginning of existence.
At the beginning we spoke the same language; we had the same culture, “And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.” –Gen. 11 verse 1. all of us have the same ancestors, all of us are brothers. Although we have a disastrous brotherhood, all we have done is kill each other and destroy earth. People argue of holy wars, others, of ideology but at the end we are all the same, humans, brothers. Why do Americans have to kill innocent Iraqis or vice versa, aren’t we all a big family? Rapists don’t rape their sisters, gangsters don’t kill there brothers, or neither I hate my mother. But, if we knew we were a family, rapists wouldn’t rape, gangsters wouldn’t kill and I wouldn’t hate.
If some base their morals on the bible, why do we have poverty? If the church is supposed to be the representation of god on earth, why doesn’t it intervene in the fallacies made everywhere? As the three musketeers would say “all for one and one for all.” Earth isn’t a logical or fair place.
