Objects. A reasoned view.

[John Jones]

"Object" is an idea that was invented to make our ideas appear
unchanging and certain, even immortal. But we can dispense with the idea
of Objects, and see ideas anew.

For example, look at the objects we call "brain" and "nose". We like to
think these have certainty and substance. But they are inventions. We
invented them to account for the fact that we can smell. But it is
"smell" that we use to draws artificial limits that we call "a brain"
and "a nose".

Just as we can dispose of "Space" and "Time" by conceptually revisiting
"objects", so we can dispose of "objects" by conceptually revisiting our
ideas.

OK. Now what?

Are you directly saying that "bible" is an object and the "stories" in
there are inventions that deserve
sane people to scrutinize?
If so, you have good ideas and a sensible person.
Except that you will fail in the religious dark side, so dark that
they cannot see anything and therefore assume everything.

It would seem you've already disposed of your "brain".
