I guess people just assume that other religious writings contain the same information found in the Bible. But this isn't true. There are many truths that are completely unique to this book. The Bible presents the concept of one true God, who is distinct from the Creation.
Mankind loses their dignity without the Bible.
On that note we could say that without the Bible the United States Of America as a land of freedom would have never existed. It is the Bible that introduced the concept of 'sin' and the need for salvation. Evil and suffering are illusions, reincarnation, gods and goddesses control various aspects of this world, the creation is inseparable from god or the gods, the creation is an accident, absolute truth doesn't exist, human life is no more valuable than animal life and might makes right. Critics, skeptics and those who want to have the Bible de-clawed, find Jesus to be a very frustrating individual. Because He is continually referring to the Bible as the Word of God.
