how is the bible any more valid?
it isn't!
And I heard this from a priest who stated that to think your religion is above others is stupidity at it's worst. Because blind belief wouldn't last in the long run. You always have to be skeptical about what you believe in.
And in regards to Klinton's comment of it not touching people profoundly if it were any different than it is now.
Nonsense.
Of course it would. People are basically stupid and will believe anything you put before them as long as they want to believe. Or if they are afraid that something they've thought of as truth might be a lie
