The bible was originally a fairy tale

[InternetJunky]

The bible was written by man, edited by man and man made addictions to the bible over hundreds and thousands of years.

Just like how chinese whispers works- over many hundreds of generations even a fairy tale can become a bible.

Just one of my crazy ideas.

Fairy Tales and Fables are all famous for teaching great lessons on life. Just one of my crazy ideas.

People actually have real scholary knowledge about the bible, it pisses me off when people throw out questions like 'wOt if Deh bibble woz a prank or sumfiN?! or if some guy woz drunk n rote it?!1'. The bible is a collection of many different books thats what the word 'bible' means its greek meaning a collection of many books. It started out with a religious community that stemmed from a bedouin tribe from iraq, who wrote about the head of the tribe called abraham that started a beleif in one god, where the beleif or tradition is passed on to the children through the mother thus creating the religioius community or nation based in the beleif in god. From there it kind of worked its way back to describe the lengthy and boring pre-history of abraham and his tribe, right back to a story attempting to explain the beginning of the world which was inspired by the creation tales of other people living in iraq at the time.

Well, considering how the Bible is presented as an accurate historical document, the kidiot reactions are justified.

Sure, there is scholarly value in the monotheistic interpretation of egyptian, greek and babylonian myths by semitic tribes. That's all its role should be today.

As anti-religion as I am,

I have to point out that it

didn't all start from fairy tales.

There's real places and people

that shit comes from originally.

Even Hercules was probably a real guy.

The old testament is kinda violent for a fairy tale.

If the Bible is just a fairy tale, I'd love to meet the mind behind the allegory, because it's fucking amazing.

Well, most people know the bible is just a collection of stories of which to learn from and base your life on morally. It's not to be taken literally.

It's because of*idiotic posts like these that I continue to read the material in the forum. Go ahead shuu, say what you will about people who use their brains instead of blind faith, your words amuse me. They make me giggle.

You've completely overlooked the fact that the actual history of the bible was still a fairy tale, what you've said doesn't change that. You just gave us some detail on how the fairy tale originated.
