I already knew that Judaism, Christianity and Islam consider themselves descendants of Abraham.
So you think the Bible is a good guide for people? Read on.

Please see my original post. Also see the links I have posted with this message.

I mentioned the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path of Buddhism. Please re read. Thank you.

There are many places where you can get information about atheism, agnosticism, non-theism and non-Abrahamic religions.

Some opinions of the Bible for you to chew on:

"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we call it the word of a demon than the word of God." Thomas Paine

"If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a criminal. If he would follow strictly the teachings of the New, he would be insane." Robert Ingersoll

"If a man really believes that God once upheld slavery; that he commanded soldiers to kill women and babes; that he believed in polygamy; that he persecuted for opinion's sake; that he will punish forever, and that he hates an unbeliever, the effect in my judgment will be bad. It always has been bad. This belief built the dungeons of the Inquisition. This belief made the Puritan murder the Quaker." Robert Ingersoll

"I know of no book which has been a source of brutality and sadistic conduct, both public and private, that can compare with the Bible." Sir James Paget
