I dont believe we should take the Bible very serious

I'll try to sum up what I mean to the best of my abilities...

I'm a Christian, so this is in no way meant to slander God's name, however as Christians i think some of us is taking the words of the Bible too literal.

It was written by humans and then translated by other humans, humans with agendas and personal beliefs, there are bound to be mistakes.

How do you know what to do and believe then, as a Christian? Well... I would say the three most important things, besides believing in God and believing Jesus is the son of God, that we need to love, forgive and not judge for we are also just humans, and the only one who can and should judge is God.

I think nitpicking passages to judge and hate certain types of people isn't how we should act.

Feel free to share or challenge my thoughts pls T-T

the bible or any other sacred books like quran wasnt supposed to be taken serious at first place. we had to understand what it was telling and their ideas to us like its a fiction or stories, but its been used very much by greedy people with fearing the ones who doesnt know anything, who cannot read or write and unable to question anything so it was, still and will be a great source to use as a way to take control of the masses and finances under different names, the angels, devils, demons, etc. was meant to be a metaphor but again it was used in various ways and corrupted the actual use and meaning of it to others. we can see many religious oppressions, many traumatic sights under the name of god still happening in many countries, its very common. the books meant to teach you how to be a better person with its stories, but the books were never the same either whether if there is "original" copies of it (like anyone wouldnt ever try to rewrite it in their own way or any powerful people wouldnt ever show only the parts everyone wants to see). thats why i dont think any sacred books is so serious, they were only made for us to see and learn something from them like most of the other books.
