Hell no, the bible has some Great stuff!
1)Deu 20:16 Whenever you capture towns in the land the LORD your God is giving you, be sure to kill all the people and animals.
2)1Sa 15:3 "Go and attack the Amalekites! Destroy them and all their possessions. Don't have any pity. Kill their men, women, children, and even their babies. Slaughter their cattle, sheep, camels, and donkeys."
3)Deu 20:10 Before you attack a town that is far from your land, offer peace to the people who live there. If they surrender and open their town gates, they will become your slaves. But if they reject your offer of peace and try to fight, surround their town and attack. Then, after the LORD helps you capture it, kill all the men. Take the women and children as slaves and keep the livestock and everything else of value.

First, I disagree that both are unreliable. I think that both are reliable, when used correctly.
Second, I think it depends on the question. If you're asking a question about what Christians believe, then certainly the Bible is the best source. If you're asking what is going on in current events, I don't know of a better source than Wikipedia.
If someone is asking for a personal opinion, of course neither the Bible nor Wikipedia have those.

Ahh, but Wikipedia is mostly based upon fact, is it not? The Bible is a bunch of stories sloppily thrown together to promote Christianity to the four corners of the Earth, but Wikipedia is not considered this kind of propaganda. For example, the Bible says that Noah lived to be roughly 500 years old; Wikipedia says that George W. Bush is the current president. The Bible says that God created the Universe in 7 days. Wikipedia says that the Seiko Watch Company was estated in Japan. The Bible says that you shouldn't do anything that you wouldn't do in front of God. Wikipedia says that the article of "God" is not a neutral article, and may contain opinions that do not reflect on the views of Wikipedia. It seems like Wiki-ing something can give you proven facts, but the Bible is more or less a give or take, standing on the line of fiction, fantasy, religion, politics, and fact. Personally, I'd trust good old fashioned research.

Ridiculous.
The Bible is a work of literature, and (needless to say) frequently relevant to discussions of religion and spirituality, whether you consider it "unreliable" or not. In terms of historical content, I'm fairly certain that you've done little real research into its reliability. Remember, it does contain history as well as myth. As does Shakespeare. Should we ban Shakespeare quotations as well?
Wikipedia is occasionally unreliable, but has a ton of useful information.
Live and let live. This is a place for believers and unbelievers of all stripes. If a question or answer annoys you, ignore it.

Yes people should be allowed to quote from any sources as far is it the truth, coz there are many innocent people who do not have knowledge may benefit from it.for eg there is no biblical evidence to celebrate christimas , nor never in his life time jesus(pbuh) celebrated it , or said to do it.and more over there is no proof that he was born on 25th dec.but still people waste there money.so it should be allowed to quote from these sources.

Wikipedia is for morons,the dumbest thing on earth. The Holy Bible and the Holy Quran are real, genuine books and that is
very insulting.

If you do not like the bible verses some quote in here then do not come to this section.

"All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work."

Freedom of speach allows it. It better if they identify the source of the quotations like that the readers can have an opinion about the quote.
