Do you take the Bible seriously, do you think it's an important book or do you feel that it is worth nothing?

It's not important to me and I'm not a fan, but I wouldn't say that it's worth nothing, because it shaped the society I live in (whether for better or worse) and also has value to other people.

No. Religion was invented to brainwash and control people. It's a tool of the ruling class and has caused so much unecessary suffering.

I don't hate it, it's fascinating to me that so many societies were built on it & destroyed for it. But i personally feel no one should take it too seriously

I think it’s a very valuable work of fiction. . .If only people didn’t take it literally.

it's a book. it's a story written in a very special style. i've only read parts of the book. it's too weird for me to finish it

No, I don't. To me, the interesting part is all the 'gospels ' left out - there is much scripture that some committee or whatever decided wouldn't be in the Bible. MEN got together and looked at the 'inspired word of God' and said 'meh, let's skip that'
