ASOIAF is more or less a fictionalized version of the English War of the Roses, written about six centuries after the fact. Much of the Bible is even less of an eyewitness accounting of events. It's just how people thousands of years ago thought people hundreds of years sooner saw the world.

I can get the same experience from sources that are actually somewhat reliable. The Bible just isn't very good for anything.
