Axiom... not to offend your opinion, you are entitled to it... Unification is great, but the problem lies in deciding what religion to make universal, expecting mindless cooperation, and abandoning age-old script. Many are devoted to their religion, Many dont care, and others are atheist. A better solution is learning to accept ad live together. People like thich nhat hanh and others work to make buddha and jesus one... but i dont think the world will ever accept one for of faith.... also, i think the bible should be taken with a large grain of salt and be loooked at philosophically

the bible has had such a historical impact on the world today. It has influenced the likes of voltaire and jefferson in the creation of democracy, and has established an innumerable dependency from humans( a crutch to fear and coping). The ideals found in the bible are familiar to theories of ethical disposition: Kantian Ethics, Utilitarianism, Divine Command etc... it has also sold more copies than harry potter.. im not necessarily a fan of either book, but the bible has some value
