The Bible Is Mostly Not Factual

Bible scholar on a panel tells audience, much of the Bible isn't factual, including Moses and King David. Theist sputtering and indignation ensues. "But the Bible has TROOOOTHS!" they wail. Richard Dawkins also gets in his piece.

Dr. Francesca is new to me. I must investigate further.

While she is an atheist, she does say elsewhere she is friendly to religion.

I guess nobody's perfect.

Francesca Stavrakopoulou has a whole series on Youtube. Here's Part 1.
"David is bullshit" (Okay - granted that is me paraphrasing!)

[CleanShavenJesus]

What? You mean to tell me Moses didn't actually split the Red Sea?!

[Minimalist]

He didn't even piss in it.

[JesusHChrist]

I find her strangely beguiling. Like she's put a hex on me.

[Neo-Scholastic]

I keep thinking Ms. H. G. Wells from Warehouse 13. As for Dawkins...what a media whore.

[Minimalist]

Ah...poor Chad. Did that mean old Dawkins piss on your fucking holy parade one too many times?

[JesusHChrist]

Where was Dawkins' media whoring? I missed that bit.

[Minimalist]

It exists only in Chad's mind....much like his "god."

So what do Christians think about the fact many Bible scholars think many of the key events in the Bible are not factual? Sure you can say Genesis is myth/metaphor and oh, that Flood! Of course that didn't happen! But here we have the Exodus turning out to have no evidence, nor Moses, nor David, nor Joshua, nor the Ten Commandments and being lost in the desert and on and on.

And yet, they still persist in their delusion even though the evidence supports their religion being no different than Greek mythology.
