Nobel Prize winning author Jose Saramago created a stir the other day with his remarks about the Bible.
"The Bible is a manual of bad morals (which) has a powerful influence on our culture and even our way of life.

Saramago attacked "a cruel, jealous and unbearable God (who) exists only in our heads" and said he did not think his book would cause problems for the Catholic Church "because Catholics do not read the Bible.
"It might offend Jews, but that doesn't really matter to me," he added.
