People still murder kill ! Remain narrowed minded on issues are biggoted all because of those two books especially the later as of sept 9,11.
They all claim to be real , Except their not and they are not all 100% original either.
What did James Frey Do, Expose Oprah`s gaullibleness and also that of her idol worshiping book club.
Make lots of money $$$, Perhaps ruin his reputation and credibility somewhat in the future.
The bible, underneath all of the supernatural rigamaroo, is essentially a book of ethics. The Ten Commandments, in particular, are mostly "Be good. Don't steal shit or kill people or treat your parents like crap or cheat on your wife or ruin your neighbor's reputation." A lot of people interpret things to suit their needs, but that's the fault of the people. The most you can fault the bible for is for being too vague. Evil people will still do evil things, and if they don't use the Bible as a tool to justify what they do, they'll always find something else. The books of the bible were written by simple people who didn't have anywhere near the knowledge or expertise that we do today. It was written to explain things that no one could explain. And it will persist forever because we'll never get to the point where we can explain everything. Obviously, judging by your tone, you're hardly an open-minded or accepting individual, nor are you very knowledgable. Or coherent.
Frey, on the other hand, wrote a book filled with information that was intentionally misleading or false, and he did so with the express intent of decieving his audience and making money, which he did. Oprah was a sucker for believing him, as was anyone who bought the story and took it at face value, but they are not responsible for the lies and deceit.
