Do you think you'd still be a believer if the bible were more pleasant/accurate?

RE: Do you think you'd still be a believer if the bible were more pleasant/accurate?
Interesting question. I can't properly comment as I never believed any of it in the first place.

I would imagine there would be a few people who could be swayed this way. Those who are natural sceptics however, I would expect to see through it eventually no matter how nice it was.

I also wonder whether some people would actually leave because it was too nice. Without anything to back up all these horrid threats, people might feel more at ease to walk away from it rather than believe at all costs.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
