Your right if your looking at it with a christian view point. Try reading the bible as a story book instead of a guide of faith. Then tell me what you think of it..
It is 'story'. Hebrew Scripture is a story of a people and their God and
thier interaction through history. The Bible is not simply one book, but
a collection of books, a library, each written by a different human author,
different literary styles; Historical, myth, hymns, lengends, advice, wisdom, poetry, etc. We must allow each type of writing to be what it is.
To debate the significance of the Bible without any knowldege of what
it conveys in absurd.
