What distinguishes a fantasy book from the bible?

RE: What distinguishes a fantasy book from the bible?
The difference between a fantasy book and the Bible is, if it's a contemporary fantasy, most likely the author(s) are able to be Googled so one learns they're real people. Secondly, if it's a work by a reputable publishing house, it will make sense from front to back. No errors, no inconsistencies in the storyline, no double talk. Also, the reader is forewarned on the cover as to the genre of the book; Fantasy.
So they know in advance they can choose to suspend their critical thought processes and allow themselves to be led into a work of pure imaginary fiction.

People tend to cling to whatever quells their fears. Be it a political ideology or a religious doctrine. It doesn't have to make sense, because to choose to first accept something invisible loves you precludes any expectation afterward of anything related to that first premise, in making sense.

In times of trouble, no matter the chapter or verse, what's imparted by those who hold the Bible as truth is; don't worry, god loves you, it's his will, it will all get better soon, this is an opportunity to grow in your faith and no matter what happens if you keep the faith you'll be a better person when you're dead.
"In life you can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load. When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all you meet, you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer, and you help alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with."
Brian Tracy
