Question Pretty soon...

...it wont be a bible. It wont be anything in relatings to any bible.

With that being spoken, what key thing, or top thing, will you surely be able to always recite, or recollect, with your mind, about the bible or the things within any bible content?

The bible, while increasingly irrelevant in daily affairs these days, will be the lens through which western literature is viewed for as long as people continue to read western literature.

Well, if the bible is is becoming more and more irrelevant then, based on history, it will become obsolete.

The traditions of classical Greco-Roman society faded and were finally replaced by Christianity. Medieval European culture was eventually superceded by secular humanism. History is change.

If extra-terrestrial life is ever discovered it could trigger a new religion. If we ever encounter intelligent aliens it would be the biggest turning point in human history. The new God might have scales and breathe ammonia :huh:

The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.
