Gutenberg, Religion, and the Printing Press

The Gutenberg Bible

Religion, one of the most controversial topics around the whole world. Some people believe in a God and some people thinks it’s all fake and that people are stupid for having such a great and wonderful belief. Some countries don’t even talk about God or believe in any kind of God of their own. One person who did believe was Johannes Gutenberg. He inventing the printing press in 1453 and the first thing ever printed off of it was the one and only Holy Bible.

Johannes Gutenberg was said to have printed 200 Gutenberg Bible copies on rag cotton linen paper and 30 copies on velum animal skin. As of today the known amount of the Gutenberg Bible includes only 22 copies with 7 of the being on velum. I could not find if people criticized him for the printing of the bible but everyone has different beliefs and I don’t know about you, but it makes me wonder what people had said about him.

Believing in something can help some individuals get through their everyday life and solve problems that they are having. It can help to bring families together. Some people look at it as a place to go to be alone and talk to the one they adore. It even helps people find their way out of depression or suicides.

I do agree that some people take it too far as to trying to force people to believe there is a God and in my opinion if someone doesn’t want to believe then they shouldn’t be forced to. For the people that don’t believe I think they should just let people do what they want. Who cares if one individual believes something different than other individuals.

Just a few days ago a person that I know personally posted not one, not two, but three comments about a religion class he is taking. In those he stated “I wish I could fight Jesus and his punk a** daddy lol.” He then went on to say “I will never bow to he who claims to be divine. I’ll tear down your gates with my bare f****** hands. And burn the world that you rule over. No matter how convinced you are, you’re not a god of mine. You’re not a fucking god of mine.” He then posted yet another comment stating “Dude, religion just pisses me off, but it pisses me off more than anything when people stand here and tell me that a fictional character is real. I’m sorry but until someone can prove to me that he is 110% real I’m just going to think that everyone that believes in him is retarded.” Some people may agree with him but others disagree. A few of the comments on these posts include “I agree,” so then he commented back to that “so therefore, all hail satan! lmao”, and finally a mother read all of what was going on and posted “NICK SHAME ON YOU! keep this rediculosness off of facebook. how disappointing.”

If everyone just lived their life then there would be less problems to deal with because it’s not fair to force someone to believe in the opposite of what they think is right opposed to what the other individual finds wrong. Believe what you want and don’t let anyone change your opinion based on theirs because in the end we will find out who was right and who was wrong.

  9. It is also a fact that more women go to college… alot more… so its no surprise that on average they have higher grades than men and more get to higher places in the university… if you knew this then you’d realize the facts you gave don’t hold much weight. let it also be known that men on average do better on the SAT even though more women take it. moreover after a recient study, it was found that men, on average have an IQ 3.7 points higher that females. Thats quite an achievement being that there are profoundly more males with downs syndrome than females which are included in this study. But it was found that there is a huge amount of males with extremely high IQ’s (140 and above (with 100 being an average between all sexes) than females. Also, though this has nothing to do with intelligences but anatomy, mens’ brains are larger (100g av.) than females, but that’s just because men are larger period; just a fun fact for you. Another study was done where 100, 2 1/2 year old male and female toddlers were put in a room where dollar bills were dropped from the ceiling, they were told that they could keep any money they caught from the air but they were not allowed to pick it up from the floor. The average boy picked 3 dollars from the air, can you guess how many the girls got on average? they got zero. And on top of that 14 of the girls proceeded to pick them up off the floor during the test. Maybe you should get your facts straight before you make unintelligent unsubstantial statements like you’ve done. But keep up the good fight! FYS.
