One would go mad if one took the Bible seriously but to take it seriously one must be already mad.

About This Quote

It is a common misconception that the Bible is just a book full of myths and fairy tales. In fact, when you seriously take the Bible into consideration, it actually contains valuable life lessons that can change your life for the better. The story of Jesus in the New Testament is one such example. Jesus did not die for himself; he had a higher purpose. He died on a cross and was resurrected to show us how we should live our lives.
