Molly, by definition, the doctrine of a religion is dogma. The Bible is that. Although I think Buddhism is a better religion for 'the people', the Bible contains a greater wealth of 'Life knowledge'. Dogma is only bad when used without 'intelligence' allowing flexibility for the differences of the present situation. Your view of the Bible is extraordinary. You are open to receive the wisdom it contains. The wisdom of the Bible and especially the teaching of Jesus are the foundation of my Life.
