What do you think of people that think all you need is the Bible?

I’ve actually met people who told me all I need is the Bible for knowledge. Everything you need is in that bible. I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be stuck on stupid because everything you need to know in life and about learning isn’t in that one bible. I think a lot of religious people feel threatened by modern books. I could be wrong, though.

I have the impression the the very same people holding up the bible as "the only book you ever need" have not even read it. It is so idiotic to say that. Not even an atlas? A dictionary? Well, phone books are going out off fashion (all printed books are) but JEEZUS . And I'm saying that as someone still identifying as "sort of" christian. But not THAT sort of.

Some people gain a false sense of security in staying narrow minded, like living in a "mental box" to avoid cognitive dissonance.

People will believe what they want especially less intelligent people. 99% of people that believe in a god are of average iq or below while above average iiq tend to be Athiest, Buddhist, Wiccan etc. And people with genius level iq tend to be Agnostics or Alien theorist

I think they're usually good people caught up in something they don't really understand beyond the religious education they've allowed themselves. It gives them comfort to believe it's all there, all written out for them. I can't judge that other than to say it's not a viewpoint I could ever share, even if I wanted to.

I don't think of them. They think of me carrying the bible they want me to carry to save meself from meself.

"A delusion is either insanity or religion, depending on how many people believe it." - Aron Ra

They are severely deluded or they're insane.

Hmm, I don't think much of them at all.

It's a great novel!

They've shut down the ability to question the bible by denying any possible contradictions. It keeps them in their safe place and allows them to believe the unbelievable. If nothing, not even reality, can open their minds to their contradictions then their beliefs remain intact.

It is very closed minded to think everything they need is in the bible.....i believe truth and the ability to reason and debate ideas

I don't think you're wrong, there are definitely those folks out there. It's very hard to have a discussion with them. Even if you point out the sad history and incredible contradictions of the bible, they always have a comeback.
Might be easier to present them new knowledge through videos and such.
