Do you feel, people attack scripture because it is inanimate and cannot fight back?

Question

Scripture cannot react, it can only give the same answer(s), no matter what is asked.

Do you agree with this concept or not?

Answer 1

This will come as a surprise to many, but 'The word of God is alive and exerts power, and is sharper than a double-edged sword, piercing even to dividing of thoughts and intentions of the heart' (Hebrew ch 4 vs 12). Unspiritual people ridicule that idea, of course. Yet even as they heap ridicule upon it, the scriptures are judging them, exposing their thoughts and intentions so that on the Day of Judgment they will be without excuse.

Answer 2

No, people 'attack' scripture ( I assume you mean the Bible?) because it is an archaic piece of , patriarchal, murderous, misogynistic psychobabble that demonizes people who do not agree with it.

Sounds like statism or nationalism right??

Yep.

So you could say that most attacks on the Bible are from defense, as the Bible actively discriminates against everyone who doesn't swallow it's doctrine.

Words are only inanimate when they aren't being pushed into law, or used to punish, segregate, demonize or literally murder non-believers.

Answer 3

" Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. "........Galatians 6:7. It's a pity, but those who are trying to mock at God or at the Holy Scripture God can punish. It's a pity, that they do not understand it. Some people are trying to stop spread the Gospel. It is also written that God's Word is not chained. Those people think that persecuting of Christians can do some good to them. They will not profit by it, but they are really acting. They are acting now more and more cruelly.

Answer 4

No. Any written document can be analyzed and checked for accuracy and content. In looking at scripture, it is now obvious that many of the stories in it did not occur i.e. Creation, the flood, the exodus, etc. Unsurprisingly, many of the locations are accurate, but many fiction books have accurate details about locations.

Scripture is not being "attacked" it is being evaluated against known facts, and it comes up short.

Answer 5

No. That would be no fun at all. If that concept worked they would attack many and inanimate object. They attack scripture because so many fanatics get their panties in a wad over it and the attackers find that very entertaining.

Answer 6

Attacking scripture is to attempt to poke holes in the foundation of someone's belief. I don't think it is particularly effective against a believer in changing their beliefs, but I think it does help slow literal interpretations that can be damaging to society and education.

Answer 7

No, I think people dispute scripture because it has been heavily manipulated, mistranslated and misinterpreted over the years by those with various political motivations. You can see exactly what you want to see in scripture and most people do see quite different things there...hence all the thousands of different Christian sects which proves this.

Answer 8

Atheists like me attack the bible because it is not generally relevant to the way we live our lives today. Remember, it was written several thousand years ago for a culture very different from ours. It is contradictory and probably historically inaccurate by people who did not actually witness what they were writing about

Answer 9

no I think people attack scripture because they don't believe it, mostly due to the amount of times its been translated, re- written and changed from the original. and yws, it has been changed, due to the translations from the language used in that time, translation is open to personal interpretation, and mis understanding.

Answer 10

No.

Scripture is used to give whatever answer the person using it wants.

It is this ambiguous, contradictory nature of the scripture of the main religions that opens it up to attack in the first place.
