When you are talking about Christianity, G'kar, putting down the Bible is putting down our religion. Most Christians believe that the Bible is the inspired work of God, which it is. The Lord has put His word in this text for all to read and be saved by.

This is what some of us believe:

All scripture was inspired by God The Holy Scriptures are absolutely true because God gave the writers the very words they wrote.(verbal inspiration) The Holy Scriptures contain no errors or contradictions.Since God is the author of all scripture, it's teachings do not contradict one another.

So you see G'kar, when you put down the Bible, you are putting down my religion, and therefore, me personally, since you are putting down God.

And you never did think that it ever would happen again, in America did you? And you never did think that we'd ever get together again, but we damn sure fooled ya. We're walkin' real proud and we're talkin' real loud again, in America. And you never did think that it ever would happen again.... (Charlie Daniels)
