- sant0sk1 18y agoWell, the bible is a great literary work and there is no doubting that. Many writers have borrowed from its themes, styles, and prose throughout history (Shakespeare a prominent example). The reason I say my comment (and my view of the bible) is non-religious is that when one begins to study the bible in detail, he realizes that it is critical of all organized religion, even nominal Christianity. I don't blame rw for lumping me in with the majority, but he did lump me in, which is generalizing.
