I missed something I think. The Holy Bible, though it is primarily fiction with the occasional life philosophy mixed in has nothing to do with Christianity and if one looks closely enough Christianity is about a bunch of rebellious upstarts who go around trying to make people believe that god is good and loving when everyone knows he is not, according, to the very book that is dedicated to him. Does Crock 'O' malodorous chunks of digested sustenance come to mind. When King James hired a bunch of scholars to make the bible my guess is they did that...made it up, not based on a translation of some great tome. The original short story fiction collection and millions were slaughtered to make it real...

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.King James did not "make the bible." You need to study how the books we know today came into acceptance and when this happened. It was 300 plus years after Jesus and three quarters of the NT was written by a man who never knew or even met Jesus. Josephus was not even a contemporary of Jesus and the "early church fathers" were people who were joustling for power during the time of Constantine.

My father said it was a bunch of "hippies" back in their day being anti-establishment...started out all peace and love and sit around the camp telling stories...and probably drink or drugs were involved because of how outrageous some of the stories were...it said it was the biggest hoax played on the world...and some one made a lot of money on it and some still do...I thought it was my father being silly when I was young, and now...he spoke with a grain a truth, I think...ha ha
