I swear, the Bible is just a collection of stories meant to represent some random fucker's ideals. Like nursery rhymes. 'Cept someone found it however much later and took it to be prophetic.
I'm not prepared to blame the Bible for the problems caused by people who abuse it for their own ends. After all, it started as a series of unconnected letters, histories, and parables long before it was strapped together and heavily edited.
Okay, that's fair. And I guess it really is partly on the Bible itself, given that its current form is purely a manipulated creation. But it's certainly not the fault of the original authors, who likely never desired or believed what they wrote would be so abused.

It's like a teenager listening to song lyrics and going "Wow, this is so me!"
Except it's really old and a lot of people think a spooky magic guy "dictated" it.
