Funny you should use a bible quote (judge by fruits) for validation.
How are you so sure Buddhism and atheism is painting a true picture?
Christians are so absolute in saying the bible is true because His holy Spirit, which resides within the believer, shows the reader that they are the inspired Word of God. It is spiritually discerned, and not taken as true on the basis of what any "religious" leader would say or believe. God is love, and the fruit of His Spirit is love. One simply knows that they are of the Spirit (God) by their content. This is why the different versions and translations of the bible are a mute point. The power and Glory belong to God, who we believe in, and not to any man, or a man's interpetation.

I'm no expert on the Quran, so I will not comment on it. But the Bible? Have you read it? It DOES have good fruits. Our very society is founded on the fundamental principals of the Bible. The Founding Fathers made an effort to include the 10 commandments into the Constitution and the backbone of American law.
So yes, the Bible has produced some pretty good fruits --- our NATIONAL PRINCIPALS.

I personally follow the Bible, not any man who tells me what he wants me to glean from his understanding of the scriptures. I choose not to give any man that sort of power. They are simple men who have failures and defeats just like me. I judge each person by their fruits, not by what they profess to be. In that manner I can be tolerant of anyone I meet. I simply allow God to do the Judging as to whether a person will get to heaven or not. I cannot know the inside of anyone else's heart. Only God can and so I think he is better qualified to do that particular job.

The bible has very good fruit. Humans are the ones that use it to produce bad fruit. Even Buddhism has bad fruit.
Its like saying a knife is evil when it is only a tool.

I believe all religious doctrines are false.
I'm so serious about this that I hold it as an article of faith.
Ah...
To decided on true and false, you will have to have some sort of sure measure or method against which to assess these doctrines, established as clear from its own potential for being wrong. No, that isn't simple.
Welcome to the world of doubt, possibilities and probabilities.

I am Catholic, but I do believe that for the most part, the bible is a great novel. Believe in yourself. What is wrong with that. We have freewill and a conscience, w know what is right and wrong, follow that.
Oh, and before you say anything about if laws. If my family was starving, yes I would steal a loaf of bread. Sometimes the greater good wins.

No real Scotsman is an casual fallacy, an advert hoc attempt to preserve an unreasoned fact.[one million] whilst confronted with a counterexample to a everyday declare, extremely than denying the counterexample or rejecting the unique everyday declare, this fallacy modifies the placement of the fact to exclude the specific case or others like it via rhetoric, with out connection with any specific objective rule. using the term replace into stepped forward via British fact seeker Antony Flew: think of Hamish McDonald, a Scotsman, sitting down along with his Glasgow Morning usher in and seeing a piece of writing approximately how the "Brighton intercourse Maniac strikes lower back". Hamish is a great deal bowled over and broadcasts that "No Scotsman could do one among these element". day after immediately he sits right down to study his Glasgow Morning usher in lower back; and, this time, reveals a piece of writing approximately an Aberdeen guy whose brutal movements make the Brighton intercourse maniac look fantastically much gentlemanly. This fact exhibits that Hamish replace into incorrect in his opinion yet is he going to admit this? unlikely. This time he says, "No real Scotsman could do one among these element".[2] whilst the assertion "all A are B" is qualified like this to exclude those A which at the instant are not B, that's a variety of begging the question; the top is assumed via the definition of "real A".

You're right.
The Bible doesn't seem to have ever inspired charity to the poor, loving others as yourself, apiring to social justice, or any of that stuff.
I mean, it never even gave anyone the wisdom to say "Judge things by their fruit."

Only if you choose to believe it yourself. It is a matter of faith, believing in something that is not there takes conviction. I choose to believe in GOD and his SON and HIS HOLY SPIRIT and HIS WORD.
