It's sort of like religion. The definition of Christianity is the Bible. The amount of Christian religions that actually care about what's written in the Book is minuscule.


> The definition of Christianity is the Bible.

The closest thing actually within Christianity to this is a relatively new idea ("new" in the context of how long Christianity has existed) particular to a subset of Protestant Christianity, and generally rejected by the rest of Christianity, to wit, the doctrine of sola scriptura. [0]

it may sound silly, but look how far they got with these two ideas:

- why believe in god? because the bible said so..

- why believe in the bible? because god wrote it..
