Old Testament.

We have so many MYTHS which are quoted as REAL.

Where is Thor with his hammer? Greek myths. Roman myths?

Story's written down over thousands of years get changed according to anyone who is in power at the time.

They all are just story's.

Later History was (recorded) after the myths but even then this was distorted.

EG Jesus Christ may have existed but at the time this was 'word of mouth.'

One neighbour tells you a story/next neighbour comes along and says.."have you heard this"...........You cannot use 'myth' as a fulcrum before History was recorded.

This is why most of the Bible is rubbish.

Yes. And imagine what kind of minds it would take to build an entire country on that bloodthirsty document written by a bunch of hairy old men who were writing to try to justify turning a matriarchal tribe in the Great Patriarchy. So pathetic.

Absolutely. Maybe this is where the 'CRACK' is?

Imagine going to an Evangelical Church (being allowed to speak) and making up a story similar to Jesus Christ but not the same. I bet you some people would believe it and start discussing it then talk to someone else.etc.

Then you come back to them and tell them you made it up!!!!!

What happens to the people who believed you and regurgitated it on and on and on.

There must come a time when someone realises they have been conned!

The Bible is nothing but a book of horror stories. Okay, Jesus claimed he was “god” and people bought into it.

By the same token, anyone today that claimed he/she was “god” would be diagnosed as having a messianic complex.

Jesus did NOT claim he was a god.

DO read these books before making pronouncement on them.

Still not even. He was a dangerous man that spoke of freedom, so a bunch of atheists repackaged him as a god like figure so that they could reenslave the ignorant serfs.

From what I know which maybe a different Christian religion. Jesus was the son of God?

Not in Catholicism, in which I was raised. It’s a trinity; god the father, god the son, and the Holy Spirit.
