What bothers me is you claim you know the truth just because you read it in a book.
I read Harry Potter that doesn't prompt me to run around and tell people I know Valdemort is out to get us, or Lord of the Rings & Sauron, etc.
I mean okay the bible is very old but with much generosity maybe a historic novel, sometimes more like a psychonaut's diary. If you'd want to get anything true out of it you'd have to put a lot of hard work into it with historical context, archeological evidence etc and what would be left wouldn't be much more than the X-files quote:
The truth is out there
How does it make sense that this collection of sacred books all regarded
as scripture and held up as truth. And called the Bible. Why and how
would these writings record a history of events. With chronological order
as a record of man's interactions with this Creator source of everything.
In fairness, I'm not sure the things you are saying are even contained in the bible.

The problem is what I think is pure product of my thoughts, in contrast to you I didn't swallow what was presented and don't claim it's more than what it is.
And another difference is I'm not done thinking. You keep talking about lies and the truth, but that doesn't really apply, I'm not the one suffering from the delusion it'd be possible for any human to know everything.

Well if you want to comment I can't stop you. But you just informed
everyone you're not sure of what you're talking about.
Or are we experiencing some kind of barrier going on here?
Language or maybe age? Because "In fairness" what you referred to
as being IN the Bible. Are actually well known facts ABOUT the Bible.
So to be clear none of that was scripture.
