Is that why you believe leprechauns are God's chosen agents on earth? Since you read it, you've thought of it. You can not think of something and choose to deny it, your brain will not let you do that. So I'd like to pursue your belief in leprechauns, and then we can work our way up to God.

The sky is not a firmament. Egypt and China were flourishing nations when the Bible says the earth was flooded to the mountaintops and they didn't even seem to notice it. Israeli archaeologists have been trying diligently for decades to find evidence of the Exodus but have had to conclude that it didn't happen because that many people couldn't possibly have traipsed around the wilderness between the Red Sea and Israel without leaving evidence. It is a story the Hebrews told to console themselves when they were in Babylonian captivity, basically, 'God got us out of a worse spot than this'. Herod never had a 'slaughter of the innocents' carried out. No Roman census could have been carried out in Herod's territory: Herod collected his own taxes and gave tribute to the Romans. The Romans collected taxes province by province, and made no requirement to move for census: it's a rather useless census that counts where people used to live instead of their current residence. The 'world-wide census' was clearly made up to retroactively fulfill Micah 5:2. There was never a Roman custom of freeing a prisoner on the Passover. You could write a book on the historical errors in the Bible.
