Since I do believe in copyrights and intellectual property rights, I cannot believe in the Bible.
So you're saying that a book from Norway was the basis for the bible? The first half of the bible is copied straight from the Torah (Show me proof the ancient hebrews had contact with Norway) , the writers of the new testament would probably have been romans who probably hadn't heard of Norway. As for revalations, thats a crazed man on an island tripping in the first or second century, I doubt he ever heard of Norway. Most religons creation legends are almost identical though.
Not to mention the fact most of the Edda Poems (if not all) seem to have been composed after the bible...
Plus, neither are copyrighted, so the intellectual property rights argument made in the first post on this quote thread is asinine.
