Thanks for posting this interesting article, Tony. I am interested in hearing what Bible readers have to say.
As for me, I tend to feel that the Bible may actually have multiple layers of meaning and that we may access these as a spiritual gateway thanks to our own personal spiritual Guidance.
I can't believe that Scriptures, within whatever religion, might have been originally designed to disconnect humans from their Divine Source: however, since prophets, clairvoyants and the like are always filtering information through a human brain, and since the outcome has then been always passed on in different ways and through different languages and time periods, I am not surprised that the evil part of humanity has always used Scriptures as a weapon, rather than as an evidence of love and compassion.
