And after watching this and seeing what kind of force is invested trough money and all sorts of interests to discover any archaeological evidence for king David and after all that all they got is two seals that the best thing that they have going for them is that they can't be dismissed to be from David.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
