No, because some people obviously won't interpret it the same. People obviously haven't interpreted it the same in the past. Each person can read the bible and find 'their own special meaning', and it's all well and good, but it will be more than just different on the surface. Because the Bible is so vague, it has so many interpretations that it can't be used as a law book of any sorts. If you want to use it as a holy script, fine by me, but I'm not buying into it. But NOBODY should use the Bible as a set of stone-cold laws. There's just too many ways to read the laws that you'd never be able to determine which one is right.


And a note, it isn't easy for us atheists. Read the thread "God's Worried About You" for my personal story of how I left theism. It wasn't just some jaunt in the park, or a spur of the moment decision. I actually had to think about my beliefs, something most people (atheists and theists both) don't really get.
