Ecclesiastes 9:5

[Bucky Ball]

These fuckers can't make up their mind.  Our culture is either wildly unbiblical and needs to get right with jesus - or magic book is foundational to our culture.

That is true  in a very specific way. 

One of the problems is that what is "Biblical" changes radically, over the years / centuries. 
For example, Israel was a monolateral-polytheist culture, (they accepted there were many gods, but they had a covenant to worship Yahweh first, and he was their main god). 
Also called henotheism, (I think). Before Hezekiah kicked out the images of all the foreign gods, there were many gods in his capitol. 

Then a drastic change happened, and it did not come from an internal source. 
The Greeks, in a number of "waves", invaded the Levant, and brought with them the notion of "individualism" which is still with us to this day. 
Before that identity was rooted in "family lines" and immortality was the continuation of male family lines. That's why monotheism was insisted on, by the prophets. 
That changed formally when Artaxerxes sent the high-ranking Jews back to Israel to reestablish a cohesive state to serve as a buffer between him and the invading Greeks. 
We have Artaxerxes to thank for the "bible" as he knew he had to send with the Jews a law code and "national history" just like all "nations" need, that tells the *story* of the nation. 
The Persian Emperor is responsible for the first 4 books of the Bible. A story, and a code of law.
