Bullshit. It was written by ignorant people to lead ignorant people and reflected the culture of that time. Just like for 3,000 years the Egyptians centered their beliefs around worship of the sun as a god.
Brian37 is right, GC. If you study the religions of the world, and not just stay focused on one, you will see that religion is extremely cultural. Look at the Taoists, the Hindus, any Native American religion. The rules and heroes of every religion on Earth are affected immensely by the culture they come from, and not some undeniable source that everyone agrees with. That's why there are 30,000 different forms of Christianity. The only truth they share is that none of them know the truth.
