Hello nairalanders,so i was scrolling some stuffs on quora ,and I came about a topic which asks "what's the greatest scam in history "
The answer I saw got me thinking really hard,about some stuffs concerning reglion.
What's your take on this,both Christians,muslims and atheists are welcomed.
PS : Critics are welcomed also

bible isn't a scam, laziness on the part of the readers and lack of research causes smart guys to use it as a tool to scam people. each chapter was written by different people with almost different knowledge of life and philosophy. like books written by mosses reflects his background as someone who grewup in an Egyptian household, and understand magic very well, books written by Mathew reflects his personality has a government tax collector and a runs guy. the first few chapters/books written in the bible was written 1000 years plus to when authors like peter wrote theirs. overall the roman emperor that supported the compilation of different Jew books, to form modern day bible, used books that can persuade people to fear authority, and be tax compliant. Solomon and moses, wrote several other librating books that was purposely left out of the bible

It's the truth. Religion is the GREATEST scam ever.

The Bible is not a scam!. I won't be surprised to hear something else. We are engaged in a battle of mind and soul. The devil and his fallen angels colleagues will spew any lie just to deceive people. He doesn't have to come out personally as he has foot soldiers as well, but he will fail woefully!.

A man denying the existence of God, or the authenticity of the bible is like a man who sits on a branch of a tree, and is actively cutting off the branch of the tree.

The life of every man can only be sustained in God by the word of God.

It is the greatest scam. It might be unintentional in some cases but its still a scam.

Good try. At least you have better understanding than the far majority of bible readers and owners.

However, there is ZERO evidence that a historical Moses existed in the way written in bible.
There is also ZERO evidence in the bible that Moses supposedly wrote any part of the bible.

Closer to what you stated, the bible is collection of myths, allegories and fables from ancient Egypt, ancient Mesopotamia, Canaan, etc, with a tinge of Greek and Roman religious beliefs and myths mixed in between.

The New Testament authors were anonymous ghost writers who were writing their own opinions and beliefs for different audiences.

Also added to the mix is 2000yrs of translations, transliterations, revisions and redactions.

Now, when you have such a convoluted assemblage of myths, doctrines and dogma in the hands of self appointed interpretors and bursers for an imaginary being, then you have yourself the GREATEST SCAM , the greatest self-refueling scam in the history of humankind.

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." - 2 Timothy 3:16-17

"for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." - 2 Peter 1:21

Truth!

Peace and blessings.

Delusion of an individual is called insanity,while delusion of millions of people is called religion.
Free your mind.
