Strange logic Julio. The Bible is a poor piece of literature and only got printed ahead of everything else because the Church was dominant when the printing press was invented.
It is hardly worth reading, though I have read quite a lot of it to find out what they are all on about.
"Religeon may not be an end in itself, but it may be the means by which we can reach an end?" What end would that be?
Also haven't you noticed you can go back to your own comments on this site, edit them and fix up your own errors?
