When you say "smell bullshit", that is your cue to let "common sense" filled with all sorts of 21st century presuppositions enter in to a nuanced and complicated understanding of the ancient world and how that relates to a systemic philosophy and theology of life.
You are willing to reject any systematizing of your own, and base you rejection of the ancient world on pure 21st century prejudice, without questioning the strengths or merits of that prejudice or proving it in any way. Then you consider Christians fools because they do not submit what they do to the rigorous methods of science that play no part in your "smelling of bullshit".
