The story of scripture

Dear Editor, It turns out that the sacred record of the western world is at its root much different than what we have made it out to be.The scripture is a deep history meant to pass along how successful societies ensured that their people obtained knowledge, created lasting families, organized gainful work, and served in public affairs. The scripture encourages democratic societies to require compulsory education, free enterprise, codes of ethics, laws against crime and civil wrongs, and rotating leadership in government.
