The message of Q is to do your own research, yet there is an abundance of Biblefags that get butthurt at the mention of doing research on the origins of Abrahamic religion and the Bible. Wat do?

Try reading the post again, don't take it personally and THEN answer the question. I am not confused.
Have you considered that (some) Christians have researched the Bible as well, and have found strong evidence for it being true?
Yes. Absolutely. BUT... nobody knows the truth and I suppose that is where faith comes in. I'm not anti-Bible, I am just anti-zealot. Using the Bible as a tool is what it was designed for IMO. To inspire etc. My opinion is that if you have a strong enough relationship w God then you don't need a book (that was written by men - and used to control people for millenia).
You don’t need the book, but the book is extremely helpful. And if God did come down as man in the flesh and died for us then that’s super confusing and the Bible puts it all in context. The question is whether the Bible is true or not. If it is then we need help and then the book matters as a guide.
1 John 2:21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
See, you contradict the Bible, and that is provable.
That's funny. The Roman Catholic Church kept the Bible away from the common man for centuries. Nobody could read Hebrew, Greek, or Latin besides the priests.
And when a group of former priests dared to translate the Bible into English, German, French and other languages, the Roman Catholic Church declared war and went as far as digging up their corpses to burn their bones if they couldn't get to them while they were still living.
Once the common people obtained access to the wisdom found in the Bible, people began questioning the divine right of kings, and the feudalism system collapsed. A middle class emerged thanks to the Reformation.
It is no coincidence as peoples' confidence in the Word of God has been replaced by faith in science falsely so called that we're seeing the middle class disappear and the reemergence of feudalism. The only difference is the kings are on the board of directors of multinational corporations and the CEOs have replaced the dukes and barons.
