The Bible has a number of half-decent moral codes that are, these days, obvious to even a five-year-old child. ("Thou shall not steal, what a brilliant idea!") Right and wrong issues should be clear to most of the population of the planet, but back when The Bible was put together, it was a necessary measure to implement moral laws, the punishment for which acted as a deterrent (hell) and the prize for adhering to them was adequate incentive (heaven) and also explained away some of mankind's greatest mysteries (what happens next; what happened before).
Nowadays, The Bible is outdated, superceded by our own morals that have developed over time and retained in our laws, which are enforced with real deterrents. So what, if we now don't know what happens next? Who is that desperate to find out? Like the ending of a great film, you don't want to know how it ends until you have finished fulfilling the story yourself.
Today, nobody actually needs The Bible. It is defunct, redundant, useless. Those who do need it have to be emotionally dependent in some way and can't face the reality of life. "The Lord gives me strength."
Funny, I have as much, if not, more strength than you, and I obtain it myself.

The Bible has all the strength and philosophy and scientific prove and logic and everything else you want if you just look in it and study. However; you must know the Author and what you are looking for else it will do you no good.

Not according to my estimation. There's plenty of strength in philosophy throughout the Bible...Proverbs alone.

What is wrong with the Bible's philosophy?
