Being an agnostic, I still can't say that the bible is just one big fallacy, nor is it made to scare us about death. It contains stories of meaning, certain people's perceptions on events that happened, and some history.

The story of Noah and his ark for example. To build a ship to hold 2 of each specie would be a HUGE ship if it were possible to make. But in the story, it talks about how it rained for forty days, and forty nights. That is a long time right? Through translation, we learn that when that book was written, there was no word for 'many' and forty had the same meaning. Also, people all over the world (South/Central America) reported massive amounts of rain.

Even if you think the bible is a crock, try reading it. Understand that it isn't meant to be, but rather tell stories, educate and scare.

Somebody once asked the best question: Without god, would we have ethics and morality? If you want to be considered a 'free-thinker,' answer that in your own words.
