Ikno, rite. :3
And as scripture, you mean The Bible, amirite?
That's pretty much all you can mean, 'cause any other book (besides other versions from different religions), are man-made, and they are opinion.
So, let's talk about the Bible.
I don't like talking about it, 'cause every time I get deep into it, I second guess it. (But that's on me. <3)
Sometimes, for me, it's like a fairy tale. All these things people accomplish, a small nation overtopping a giant one, and passing on the legacy for generations, all because of you believing in one omnipotent entity.
Well, let me rephrase that. More like a tall tale. I believe in God, it's just the omnipotent part I don't believe in. And the evil in the world is my basis upon that.

That picture right there, but more importantly, the quote.
Now I admit, I'm not very good, religiously. I don't indulge in everything most people do that're sinful, but I just absolutely ignore it, for the most part. The talk of God, religion, all of it. I like clear answers, or at least answers that make me think, and that's my own personal liking.
But with religion, you won't know until you've passed away. And if you made the wrong decision, well lol, it's a bit too late then, huh? I can just imagine there being an omnipotent being, and me ignoring the fact of one due to my shallow beliefs. Then I'd die, and get up to the gates.
"lol u go bak, kthxbai".
It's so sad to think about. xD
But 'kay. I could go on, and on, and on, clashing between religious texts and proven science. I could compare the theory of Adam and Eve, and the theory of The Big Bang, to see whether God is real or not.
Or I could just forget it all, and go Muslim! =D
(Nah, that's not something to joke about.)
I could go find the scripts that Newton hypothesized, that implies that the human thumb is proof enough of a God. I could read sections in the Bible and dissect them, to make a point. But what point would I make? Everyones beliefs are different anyway.
If there was a God in the world, why would he/she give us total free will? If we don't follow his/her word, we go to Hell. And according to the bible, Man is carved according to Gods image. It's just so messed up. The people God make with his/her own hands, condemned at birth. What if they never find religion? One way ticket to one of the circles of Hell.
Don't you see something wrong with that? O:
Religiously speaking.
Eh, I'm gonna stop there. And pick up more next time. Maybe.
