    What is the greatest fictional book ever written?

    Is it the bible?

    As it has influenced more people by its reading, than any other Fictional work written.

    Can you then say that Jaws is the greatest movie ever made, as it has influenced more peoples actions by freaking them out about swimming in the Ocean.

    The bible is the biggest selling book in the world. Careful when you say fictional, u might upset some people.
    It has never been proven wrong or right, bit hard to put it into any category. I know its not classed as fictional in libraries etc.
    But anyway, yes, would be the most influential book sold.
    Also, movie, umm, jaws would be up there.
    Both excellent examples.

    has actually. was proved to be fictional by a historian guy a couple of years back. if i cared more i'd tell you who, but i can't remember his name. of course no religion swallowed it, so it basically meant nothing and has therefore been forgotten.

    i'm going to say ulysses is the most influencial book for writers now...and therefore for current readers.

    It has been proven wrong many times. Just look at this city most of us live in: Darwin. Charles Darwin. Common Descent. Proven beyond all reasonable doubt (ie. fact). Contradicts Creation theory as claimed by the Bible.

    As for upsetting people, if they're willing to let people know they believe in Santa Clause, the Toothfairy or in any invisible, supernatural creatures/deities, they should expect to be mocked and jeered at.

    Bible was written 2000 years after it all happened anyway. Im sure it has its mistakes, but im not going to argue with religion. The middle east has been arguing for centuries and look at there screwed up lives.

    2000 years after what happened?

    Creation?
    Why do some people think corecting spelling is a witty retort?

    i've always been a firm believer in the missing page of the bible..

    this is a fictional story, any resemblance to actual persons or entities is coincidental and unintentional..... etc

    i'm waiting for the corporate sponsered edition of the bible.

    At the Last Supper, Jesus took the Mighty Soft Fruit 'N Spice Bread and broke it. And He took the cup of refreshing coke and said...
    it'd be fun. maybe i should write it in my spare time 8)
