The Bible may be "THE" good book but having read it i'm quite disapointed. With all the hype over the best selling book ever I would have expected something greater. Really this is the book that changes so many lives? So many people claim to be touched by this? I'm compiling a list of reasons why media that is not the bible is superior.
1) it either has one author or is in a short amount time wise that the collaborators get a sense of consistency, rather than the anthology of books the bible does a half ass job editing into a 'narrative'
2) it's claims philosophically/ethically are closer to our time and thus are more relevant
3) they may have robots, pirates, and/or better sex scenes.
4) Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Sammuel Motherfucker L Jackson, Sean Conory and Patrick Stewart, and other greats show up very few times in the bible. In a book that claims to record the works of prophets this is a very drastic oversight
5) Editing (note: does not apply to Twilight series)
6)Save for Tolkien most lack long chapters of nothing but boring genealogies
7) For books, better cover art.
Any one else able to think of any?
