I was into a rabbit hole questioning me about God’s existence, debating myself and looking for different opinions of different people, when, sadly, I found that the bible is copyrighted.

You can find the licenses nearly at the bottom. https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/es/Hebreos 11%3A6

It’s was sad, because it make me stop questioning me about the existence of god, everything started because I said to me “if god exists, then faith is useless, we need the inexistence of god to have faith”, but that, makes me feel less faith

    Look into the Gideons. I don’t agree with all their philosophy obviously, but they’re like the Open Source/Open Knowledge group of the Christian faith.

    One of their main things is that they think since the Bible is the word of God, and people deserve to be saved, that it’s their job to ensure everyone gets a fair shake at access to a Bible without having to pay for it. You used to always be able to find a Bible in a hotel thanks to them, and they’re often at public gatherings handing out copies as well.

    I’m not religious, and I don’t agree with much of what they believe, but I do think that is an appropriate way to view the situation, that it should be freely available to all instead of essentially locked behind a paywall.
