In the meantime, I am going to accept the accounts/facts/period analysis as it was originally written. I have no reason to believe this group of people lied or were confused--especially since my belief in God is properly basic!!
It's properly basic alright.......
Not everyone who gets something wrong, or uses a good story to teach an important lesson...is lying, fraudulent, or dishonest. Aesop (yay, eponyms) wasn't trying to sell anyone some shit about talking rabbits. Perhaps you should take time to fully explore the theological significance of these stories...rather than wasting effort maintaining their historicity?
After all, it's your belief that important, it;s the theology that;s important. If none of it happened that wouldn't change your beliefs, as you've said. Hell, you might even be able to get yourself some of that discussion you're looking for if the subject wasn't so infantile.
We have a bingo! [crowd of old people groans]
