Everything the bible (for example) says, is just a guidance for something in life that is more that what it really explains.
I'l' explain myself; every description about god fits perfectly as if you also described energy, Noah's ark could just be some sort of simile were it's trying to say "when times get bad, you should bring your best qualities and morals to get passed a difficult situation.
Everything is a metaphor and I'm sure most of you know that, but my point is that is pisses me off so much that people take it literally and that most of us understand the bible's true meaning way more than the followers.
I'm pretty sure the dudes who wrote it were thinking: "How am I going to explain this stuff and have the imbeciles and closed minded people around and that will probably always be around understand the deep meanings and teachings i have for them" and boom! Metaphors were used ever since.
Besides, the pope and all those dumb-fucks know exactly what the bible wants to say but they act like the crowd to be able to control them and they even know more stuff that they wont tell people because they know they might think it's blasphemy. If I'm not mistaken, I believe their was a pope who publicly announced that people don't go to hell.
I end this by just saying that people piss me off, i apologize for some grammar/spelling mistakes (English is not my first language)
and I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions about the subject.
