2. The Bibbble
The Bibbble is, according to people with critical thinking skills, a light satire of standard religious texts. It can be viwed by clicking on the following link.
The Bibbble is not long, and it does not need to be.
The Bibbble explains why we are here, it provides ethical principles that we all can live by, and it provides a small number of simple tests to assess whether we are living fulfilling and ethically good lives.
Please read it conjunction with The Bibbble Companion, see below.
The Bibbble aims to make those who are religious, and who have not been too severely indoctrinated, to think more about why they believe what they do. The world will benefit if we can all think for ourselves and make better informed decisions. whether you accept what the Bibbble says or not, you should have valid or strong arguments as to why you take the position you do.
So, the next time that you are:
(a) harangued at your front door by religious zealots who claim that it's a miracle due to their god that a person survived cancer or an earthquake (when many thousands might have died)
(b) annoyed by politicians want to ban abortion, euthanasia, gay marriage or contraception because it's against their god's will
(c) flabbergasted by those who reject scientific consensus on evolution or climate change
(d) disgusted by people who discriminate against others or will not allow others to change or reject their religion
you can show them that The Bibbble is 'the better alternative'. There are Bibbble Tests to assess how well their thinking can be justified. Show them that The Bibbble's Ethical Principles for a Level 3 Universe (EP3) are better than their commandments. Show them that The Bibbble is scientifically accurate, while their religion might not be. If we all think better, the world will be a better place.
