When I say Bible, I mean the religions that follow it. As for it not being outdated, that's laughable. So you still want to stone people and the like? Go ahead and read some of the numerous and absurd laws and beliefs. And no, I'm not saying ALL of them are outdated or absurd, just the ones that plainly are. And that's how new religions come to be, they get rid of the old and come up with the new.
Not necessarily completely outdated but has updated and added onto their previous beliefs. Sort of like how there are numerous sects of Christianity. They all have the same basis but differ here and there.
Christianity is updated Judaism. The biggest update being "love" that Jesus has taught which Judaism lacked. Take out the New Testament from the Bible and you're left with Judaism. Every religion takes the previous religion and updates it to make their current way of life better. Does not the love that Jesus teach make life better? The same has happened with darned near every single religion of the past. - N

M*W: I disagree that Christianity is updated Judaism. It's closer to paganism with its cadre of previous dying demigod saviors. The problem with religion -- each one tries to sell its own version of god.
