Trivializing the Good Book

There is no doubt, and I care not whether you are an atheist, a Christian, an agnostic, an animist, a Buddhist, a Muslim, or what have you, that the Bible is an important piece of literature, and not only for individuals of faith.  As with all important works of literature, whether of an historical nature or not, the Bible should be read and the words sifted carefully.

Though some individuals of faith cast away reason when considering the words compiled within this work, and some individuals consider the Bible a collection of Aesop type fable fairy tales, the Bible, when considered rationally, does contain wisdom, if one can simply put aside their pre and ill conceived notions of exactly what this book means.

With that said, I note that Rep. Paul Broun (R - GA) is pushing for a congressional resolution to recognize the year 2010 as the “Year of the Bible.”

This is wrong, and this is not Congress’ job.  For Paul Broun, I think this resolution is simply a bread and circus type stunt, as foolish as other congressional resolutions such as “Day of the American Comboy,” or “Siblings Connection Day,” or other such nonsense.

If Congress desires to resolve that 2010 is the year of some book, it would be better off declaring the year 2010 as the Year of Atlas Shrugged, and while they are at it, they could mail a copy of Atlas Shrugged Cliff Notes to every home in America.

Not only would such a resolution honor an important work of literature, but it would honor Ayn Rand and the spirit of the immigrants who came to America and began new lives and businesses.  Individuals who made America what it was prior to its descent into a socialist, something for nothing entitlement and favor trading cripple.

The Bible bill?
