Really? From both a mythological and philosophical standpoint, the Bible is extremely influential. Solomon, David, Moses, Judith, Esther, Jesus himself etc have all been portrayed and referenced countless times throughout art and literary history. The philosophy within the book sparked the most influential and largest religion of all time (currently).

I don’t believe in a lot of stuff within the Bible, but it definitely earned it’s place.

You are all confusing “influential” with “good” or “great.” Yes, it was the ONLY book available to read for many people for a long, long time. Yes, millions of people have been brainwashed into believing it’s real. Is it actually a good book? Nope.
