[Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us?]

The Bible, especially is not applicable to the dwapara yuga. It is hopeless in its support of slavery, subjugation of women and mass genocide and non-humane punishment to name a few of its otracities. What is worst is that we have people that support the violence of the Bible and Koran which keep war, decapitation, genocide, gross mistreatment of women and dogmatism going. These old scriptures are in effect helping to keep the masses in the kali yuga because of the evil these scriptures endorsed. It would be much better to forget these old writings and follow dwapara type spiritual methods rather than building edifices to the past which promote kali yuga ethics.

What is even worst is that since the Bible does not explicitly mention meditation practice many Christians consider meditation as the work of the devil and try to convert you and tell you that you are following false prophets. The Bible only encourage such people in their ignorance. Furthermore because of the Bible; indigenous religions have been forcefully destroyed. The Bible makes claims (from a Christian stand point) that it is superior to other religions and that it is the only way to God. The Bible and most of its followers are quite clearly ego maniacs and through history they have believed their way is the only way. In this sense the Bible is extremely dangerous to tolerance and exceptance of other religious views. Because of the followers of the Bible, people have been burned at the stake for being heretical, tortured for their views and scientists have been persecuted for making claims like the world is round. People who see the Bible as sacred are some of the most hypocritical people in the world. They believe Solomon to be the wisest man alive at the time. Yet he had over 700 wives and 300 concubines. At the same time they preach sexual morality!!! It is hopeless to even talk to such hypocrites.

Brock told me it would be much like the people of the future seeing Star Wars and believing that was the way people lived now.
To believe all these stories were true and make them sacred is hopeless for spirituality.
