Charlie, I already said: it's a FACT that the Christian bible is a work written by many different men, (who frequently contradicted themselves), re-told myths from different cultural traditions, with loose links to historical events and facts, all build up from another religion (as is always the case regarding religions), all build from jewish folklore.
It's all made up. I don't believe in those things. There's an old book, which I recommend it to you, written by a respectful, secularist, agnostic person, the very famous Isaac Asimov, called: "Asimov's Guide to the Bible - The Old and New Testment". >From the back cover: " In Asimov's Guide to the Bible, Isaac Asimov explores the historical, geographical, and biographical aspects of the events described in the Old and New Testments. Asimov's attempts to illuminate the Bible's many obscure, mysterious passages prove absorbing reading for anyone interested in religion and history. " My edition is from 1981, the book was originally printed as two separate editions, 1967 and 1969, covering the Old and the New testment, respectively. It's neutral. Unlike many other secularist books, Asimov's doesn't attempt to debunk religious beliefs, he just comments on what was known (at the time of the writing) about facts, persons and events linked to those depicted on the bible.
