Do you trust that the stories are more than allegory?
How would you expect those stories to have survived intact until the invention of writing?
And, just to make matters worse, the most ancient forms of writing we know of (Sumerian cuneiform and Egyptian hieroglyphs) make no mention of the monotheist god. Don't you find that odd?
No, they worshipped false gods with fabricated myth creation stories.
I could go on about irony.
I could say something about hypocrisy.
I could...
But I'll just tell you that the human mind is truly a wonderful beast. How you can compartmentalize and say with a straight face that all other beliefs are "fabricated myths", while your own belief cannot possibly be included in the same category.
How you can assume that a particular myth is not fabricated, even though it appears on the records thousands of years after the first writings about any creation myth.
How your mind is so committed to a particular view that it cannot see the bigger picture.
I admit I don't know everything, but I do know enough to admire the human brain and all the crazy messed up minds that arise from all the brains walking around.
