If you read the rest of the thread you will grasp what the OP was probably aiming at.

When someone says, "I believe the Bible is real", they are generally referring to the contents, not the physical object itself existing.

Real means many things to many people. There are parts of the bible that are extremely accurate, some that are a question of faith, others that are based in truth, and still others that are either allagory or complete fabrication. If one has actually read the bible and examined it in context one would find that they cannot make any blanket statements about the validity of the bible.

Id rather suffer in hell than to serve in heaven.

Interesting. What gives you the impression that heaven (assuming it exists) would bind you to an eternity of servitude? Do you have some theological basis for this? Additionally, do you have some theological basis to believe that hell would not entail servitude?

Haahaa. Id thought it be something cool to say. But you know I dont really think of that jesus, bible, serve the lord in his kingdom of heaven crap. I think of more important stuff like what im going to eat for dinner to planning out my future.

Originally posted by Moral Hazard What he's saying is that many of the people and events in the bible can and have been proven somewhat accurate based on other evidence from non-biblical sources. The fact that there are Roman coins with Pontius Pilate's name and image on them as well as records from Roman sources that reference him is relatively good evidence to coroborate his existance (which was once questioned by many). There are many other instances where non-biblical sources and archeological finds coroborate various biblical stories as being at least based in fact. This is why he's stating that the bible is a good historical source (albeit one cannot consider it entirely accurate).

If the writer of the bible was still around today, he'd be more rich than Bill Gates.

Fake.

There are at bare minimum 27 writers of the bible, possibly 32 (as some of the authors are disputed) or somewhere near 100 if you give each writer of a psalm a writting credit.

Many parts of the bible were written well after the lives of the apostles and disciples and such. They are stories and should be regarded as such, unless you are a strict dogmatic catholic. There are many historical truths to the stories.

No question, it isn't the most exciting read... that doesn't mean it's completely without merit. Even if one has absolutely now belief in the faith components of the bible it still has value as a collection of myths, history of a people and morality tales.

You state desciples and apostles... so you're clearly talking new testament. Considering that of the eight authors of the 27 books of the new testament; three were disciples (Matthew, Peter, and John), two were Jesus' brothers (James and Jude), and one was a contemporary of Peter (Paul)... it's pretty safe to say that most of the books of the new testament were writen during their lives. I think where you may be confused here is with the Gospels, two of which were writen by persons that did not actually witness any of the events therein. Of course, many of the Old Testament books were written decades to centuries after the described events allegedly occured.

Actually, Revelations is really a message to Christians at the time of it's writing. It isn't actually about the end of the world but about the present time. It was written in order to motivate Christians to continue their defiance of Rome (the beast is Nero - six hundred, three score, and six = Nero in a Hebrew code familure to Christians of the time, the "mother of harlots = rome). John was exciled by Rome and writing this manuscript in code so that it would not be understood as a call to keep up the fight against Rome... probably so his guards wouldn't destroy it. Those who believe he's actually talking about a war of evil vs. good with Jesus physically decending to earth in order to venquish the evil are mistaken, probably because they lack the historical context or requisit background knowledge to understand the allagory. In the end, John is really just stating his belief that if Christians hold true to their faith it will conqure rome... turns out he was right.
