The authors could just look around and see that's not true, they would have been laughed out of town in a world where half your children were likely to die before they reached the age of five, women often died in childbirth, and any injury could get infected and kill you; not to mention plagues, war, and natural disasters.

You are very much confusing temptation to sin with the circumstances you find yourself in. Read from the beginning of the chapter.

I was very much making a distinction between the temptation to sin and whatever circumstances you find yourself in. Please read from the beginning of my post.

The more tripe-ey it is, the more virtuous it is to believe it. Anyone could believe it if it was plausible. However, you're a fool who will go to hell if you believe other tripe that is equally as supported.

He says, with no consciousness of irony, while dismissing the experiences of the 5 billion people who aren't Christians....

Ad populum, appeal to pity, and plain old wrong.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
