You're absolutley wrong. I love the Bible as a collection of stories. I hate the fact that people buy into the Bible as fact and I hate the idea of God (not to ruffle feathers, just my opinion). The Bible however, cannot be denied as one the greatest works of literature ever.
I read the Bible on a fairly regular basis. While I tend to focus on the Old Testament more than the New (all the love and forgiveness is not as exciting as bloodshed and violence), I have not read the entire book front to back but I am working on it and I've probably read 75% of the entire Bible (Old and New Testament).
This particular verse to me is a symbol of Man's nature. I look at it as a form of deliverance or salvation from the clutches of God.
But once again you are wrong. I do not hate the Bible, just the ignorant fools that take every word of it as the truth without stopping to question them. I hate when people misinterperate the words and use them as an excuse for justifying evil deeds. I'm not saying this is EVERY Christian and I would be ignorant to think that every Christian believes this way, however there is still a large amount of superstition that permeates the air and causes people to perform dispicable acts in the name of God because the Bible says it's ok to do so.
