anyone else think the bible was written by old men that wanted to control the girls in there lives?

Question

also just to make up a story about a place called heaven to make kids and weeping mothers deal with death easier?
or maybe just a ploy to get silly weak minded to people to give there money away?
damn now i want to start a church...

Answer 1

Lol. I like your thinking and if I promise to abide by your rules can I be in your clergy??

Answer 2

I agree but not to control their girls, but everybody else. Jesus and his teachings were rejected by priests but they were out shown by Jesus so they then turned around and used him as a buisness to keep control of the people. Completely changed his words and made up heaven to be a place out of yourself where you go if you are good or hell if you're not. The weak minded people think that they can buy their way into heaven and if they were big sinners they will give more. The catholic church sold indulgences, tickets to heaven after you died, to raise money to continue painting the Sisteen Chapel in Rome.

Answer 3

It's no new notion that relgion is born from fear. Humans needed (and still need) some way to deal with death so they create an afterlife. It is also used to delineate social values and norms (including the kind of values and norms that diminish the power of women). It has become a way to control and manipulate people. Eventually, humans will move past these myths but it won't be for a long long looooong time.

Answer 4

The bible was written, and rewritten, as a way to destroy the female aspect6 of religion. The male aspect was secondary to the female prior to the inception of the chritian faith. The reason that this all came about is because of a few men that felt that women were lesser then men. In all, it is the fact that they were thinking with the wrong head, as most (but not all) men do.

Answer 5

The bible is a book of mythology.

Until modern times, most women depended on men for their livelihoods, so that dependence did not require a religion, it was a fact of life.

Religion has always been used as a means for stealing money from people, but priests were usually agents of the state rather than freelance thieves.

Same as they are today.

Answer 6

ever wonder why the bible is the most criticized artifact even though history and archeology have proved it true time and time again. The fact remains nobody likes to tell them what to believe and how it has to be. So I strongly suggest you read the bible for yourself and form your own opinion.

Do your own research and come to your own conclusions cause when you die, you die alone. When you come face to face with your creator you're the one who has to give an account for your choices.
In the words of a great bumper sticker I read:
"If you're living life like there isn't a God, you better pray that there isn't."

Answer 7

No, I don't believe that, but I definitely DO believe that often its most vocal interpreters are:

old men who want to control the girls in their lives

young men who want to control the girls in their lives

women who like being controlled because it allows them to evade responsibility for their own lives.

I also believe one can do much better than that interpretation-wise.

Someone else asked a question a few days ago: "Christian women....are you subservient to your husband?" posed by "fartolotamus". And I answered it very differently - based on the Bible, no less!(*)

My two cents.

Answer 8

No.. old men would have no reason too... viagra is a modern invention.. young men rebelling, maybe..

Yes.. after all, it does make it easier..

No.. most those who supposedly wrote the bible, were supposedly impoverished.. what good would it do them?
