It's fans are just as obsessive as Star Wars fans but instead of the force the bible teaches common sense and decency that the world lacked upon it's inception. It also introduce faith and hell, something that cannot be argued against and a penalty for trying. The bible is awesome, it gave direction of decency to the modern world. I believe that it has been twisted by man to serve a different purpose now. No longer is it solely a user manual for life but instead gives moral and financial power to wolves clothed in unquestionable faith. I don't believe in good or evil, but people that are naive carrying the banner of faith can and have caused some of the largest political unrest in the world. (Crusades, Hitler, JW Bush) In reality if we were a true Christian based country we wouldn't even have an army. Jesus could have lead the Jews against Pontius Pilate and won, but the main principals of Christianity are to treat your brother as you would want to be treated. In reality Christianity has been warped to mean what the church wants. Put something and powerful as religion in man's hands and give them 2000 years and you think that what's left is still pure? Hope and faith were what formed Christianity, fear and deception and the driving forces now preying on the weak and naive.
I almost stopped reading after you compared Bible fans to Star Wars fans, but I persevered. The rest was a great post. Well thought out. Good work.
