Americans weigh in on the scriptures

(SRN NEWS)-About 25% of adults say the Bible is just another book of instruction and nearly 20% think it was written to control and manipulate people.  Those are some of the conclusions of a new poll from the American Bible Society, which also reveals that 36% of respondents believe that the scriptures are totally accurate versus 39% who say NO.  ABS spokesman John Plake says “A half-century ago, Americans generally trusted the Bible. Attitudes are more complex these days.”
