Why do you hate God?

[Brian37]

As long as there are evolution deniers, it is relevant. As long as there are people who want to use law to control the bodies of females, it is relevant. As long as humans are willing to kill in the name of their god, it is relevant.

And we are not talking about historians. Historians don't get political, right wing religious leaders DO. 

And read your own words "modern historians". 

BACK when the first books were written, the INTENT of the writers was to draw the reader in to gain more club members. That was the intent back then, and it is still the intent today.

The two statements you made about literal interpretations are not true. 

But I understand that you feel strongly about this and don't worry too much about truth.

TRUTH

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THE BULLSHIT FANTASTIC CLAIMS, REGARDLESS OF THE WRITERS INTENT.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO INJECT RELIGION INTO LAW BASED ON WHAT THEY READ IN HOLY WRITINGS

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO KILL OVER THE WORDS IN HOLY BOOKS.

Nobody is talking about neutral academics accept you.

Are there neutral historians? YES.

But that does not change the intent of holy books. The intent of a holy book is to draw the reader in, it is a sales manual, an advertisement.
