Why the fuck would I want to "understand' your silly old book of fairy tales?
You seem to forget that I've already been through the whole xtian bullshit guilt trip and rejected it years ago.
The bible is a load of crap. Archaeology has trashed the OT in recent years. No patriarchs, no flood, no exodus, no moses, no conquest, no Davidic empire....
The only actual evidence we have from the first half of the first millenium is that the "Israelites" were Canaanites with a henotheistic society (Yahweh as the top god...not the only god). You need to read some books that do not tell you what you want to hear.
Start with Israel Finkelstein's "The Bible Unearthed."
