See, the brokenness is a good answer. If that was the only reason for studying the Bible, it would be more acceptable. It's not, so it's a moot point. But it's a good answer.

Do we really need the Bible to see that, though? Pick up any treatise on 20th century history and we can see human folly. Pick up any treatise on the medieval period to see religious folly. Go to Ireland to see modern human religious folly.
