Well, do you have anything good to say about the Bible other than it's a good piece of literature?

That depends on how you read it I suppose. I could probably say something about the morals and the whole "love thy neighbor" thing but I would be lying. I've said it before that I don't think we need a book to give us a conscience or a sense of right and wrong. And frankly I disagree with a lot of Christ's teachings. The whole pacifist idea has never sat well with me. I believe in vengeance not forgiveness, vindication not turning the other cheek. These are my beliefs though...
I personally identify with Satan though. To me Satan is the personification of rebellion. He stood up for what he believed in even though he knew it was futile. I'm not going to argue the reason behind Satan's rebellion but the concept of sticking to your guns regardless of the obstacle you might face is a noble cause. This is the only "good" that I find in the Bible other than entertainment. The idea that true strength comes from within, not from the pages of an ancient book.
