“The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” -- Malcolm X

Your statement doesn't make sense ... the people who dismiss the Bible as fictional are probably the same who question the media for sources rather than accepting the statements blindly ... not the other way around.

some people believe in science and facts.the fact about the bible, is, that it was made in the 1800 after Christ.I believe that everyone has to believe in something to get them by or feel of some worth.I used to believe in god whole heartedly.However, you are taught by others to believe in something.rather you are Christan,buddist, or Catholic. You end up growing up and coming to your own conclusions,what ever that being. you have a choice no one is taking that from you.
you cant prove that he exist and you cant dismiss the possibility. But, we could have started out as a freak of nature, you can not dismiss that ether.

It is probably because the Bible as fact is signifigantly more ridiculous than the news of the mainstream media (though it is about on par with some of your more colorful tabloids in the ludicrousness department.)
I have a better question: Why do people here insist on publicizing their agendas as opposed to asking REAL questions?

Great Malcolm X quote.
Sometimes a fool gets something right. Then again, just because someone got one thing right, that doesn't mean they're not really a fool.

Oh come on, let's look at the advocates for each medium.
George Bush (for the Bible) vs. Jon Stewart (media).
No contest.

Today's world is against truth.That's what the media is doing today with bible. It' also b'coz
one needs more faith and confidence in things realized only by heart and not by eyes.

I think you'll find that we use the same critical eye on EVERY piece of propaganda we are exposed to.
From the bible, to Fox news, we know hogwash when we see it.
Try another tactic, this one is just plain stupid.

Malcolm X was a super-racist idiot and criminal.
How do you know what people believe? Did you read their minds?
