No more absurd than the bible.
Hmm, I doubt you ever read the bible all the way for you to make such a comment. Read the book, take some of that information in and then make a judgement. There are huge gaps in the bible with parts missing, parts altered and other things that are hard to explain. Some of the translations may not be totally accurate as far as we know. But still, it is among the greatest works of literature ever.
You keep making this claim and it's simply not true.
The bible is an
important collection of history and fables, and has had a profound influence on history.
It is
not a great work of literature. In terms of quality literature, it's a big steaming pile. And yes, I have read it, cover to cover, more than once.
Actually the Bible is for the foolish and weak and not for the intelligent, wise and strong, it even says so here.
1 Corinthians 1
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
18For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29That no flesh should glory in his presence.
