Default Villages Daily Sun article by Patricia Steele on the Bible

There is an article in today's Villages Daily Sun about The Bible and whether people consider it the literal word of God, an interpretation of the words inspired by God, or an ancient book of fables and history.

I was wondering how TOTVers come down in these statistics?

Thanks for Patricia Steele for giving me this idea.

Personally I believe parts of the Bible are the actual words of Jesus Christ. Some of it is history; some of it is fable. And much is very open to interpretation. Jesus was the Son of God but it would be hard to get at what he actually said "word for word" as the various writers who put together The Bible had various agendas of their own and probably fudged a great deal to make sure that their point of view was not lost.

I am kind of looking at The Bible from what I know of how people act in the 21st Century.
