This is from my school work:

"The Bible especially rich in beautifully expressed figurative language."

For those of you who do not know what this statement means:

In traditional analyses, words in literal expressions denote what they mean according to common or dictionary usage, while words in figurative expressions connote additional layers of meaning. When the human ear or eye receives the message, the mind must interpret the data to convert it into meaning. This involves the use of a cognitive framework which is made up of memories of all the possible meanings that might be available to apply to the particular words in their context. This set of memories will give prominence to the most common or literal meanings, but also suggest reasons for attributing different meanings, e.g., the reader understands that the author intended it to mean something different.

Basically, all I am trying to say is that people tend to follow the Christian relgion blindly. Missinterpretations and assumptions have led it to shit.
This is why I think religion is like it is today.
People take certain things literally and tend to throw it any way that they possibly can.

Discuss.
