Animal Liberation is more important than the Bible.

Now, I want to make sure that everyone knows that the resolution is "Animal Liberation is more important than the Bible". My opponent has made sure that the reader knows that he is talking about the book "Animal Liberation", not the act itself. I would also like to clarify that my opponent cannot restrain me on what I want to base my contentions or sayings on, thus what he mentioned saying I cannot say this or say that means nothing to me. Finally, he did in fact name a plentiful amount of quotes and information from the book but, did he really show how the book in itself is "more important" than the Bible? Not the facts in the book, but the book in itself. Because after all he did say so himself "The point of this debate is not to debate over whether or not PS's thesis is correct" So by naming all of those let's call them "issues", he did no development on his case and how the book in itself is more important than the Bible. Moving on to my case. 1- The Bible has been around for WAY longer than "Animal Liberation". Animal Liberation was published in 1975 [1], if you do some math, that means it has been around for about 35 years. The Bible on the other hand has been around since 1500 B. C. ! [2] You cannot merely compare a book that has been on earth for 35 years to one that has been on earth for around 3510 years! The Bible has grown through all of these years with people saying it is the word of "God" and Animal Liberation is a book old as an average father of a family. The fact that people have preserved it through all of these centuries shows how important and the impact on society that it has. Animal Liberation has had some importance but because of the enormous time range between it and The Bible, it shows one of the reasons The Bible is more important. 2- The Bible has sold many more copies than Animal Liberation has. To this day, The Bible is the largest seller of ALL books published. [2] That has to show how important it is compared to a 35- year old book; without many copies sold as The Bible has. 3- The Bible is a worldwide masterpiece. The Bible has been translated, in whole or in part, into more than 1,100 languages and dialects. [3] I challenge my opponent to show me how many languages is Animal Liberation in and compare that to The Bible. 4- The Bible plays a major role in religion. The Bible is the main structure of guidance and faith in many religions. There is 2 billion Christians and 14 million Jews [4] which makes about 2.5 billion people being these religions, counting other religions that also follow The Bible. It is a known fact that these religions read The Bible, this means that about 2.5 billion people know about The Bible, if not read it already. Many people who aren't these religions still read The Bible because of it's importance in literature and other areas. According to the International Data Base, there is 6,882,599,686 in the world; making the people that know or have read The Bible about one third of the entire WORLD! I again challenge my opponent to show how Animal Liberation is more important than The Bible in this area as well. As I have proved with my four contentions, The Bible is a fundemantel book to society because of its religious ideas and encouraging text that helps many religious people every single day; Animal Liberation in no shape, way or form compares to the magnitude of importance that The Bible has. Without it, imagine how would all of those religions base their guidance on? After all as they say, it is the word of "God" and without it they would most likely be lost. This is why I urge you to vote CON, Thank You.
