No, that's my hypothesis.
The evidence would be all the 'facts' that your bible got wrong.
NOW its a theory.

The Bible itself doesn't make up facts, rather it records facts alongside inaccuracies and/or legends. The story of the Garden of Eden, for instance, almost certainly pre-dates the Bible and may itself go back thousands of years. It was written down by someone in the Bible, but it wasn't invented for the Bible and hardly anyone would think that it was.
So, your argument is that people make up facts which are then put in the bible - I've no issue with that statement, since it amounts to the same thing.

For instance the Gay community exists regardless of whether they have equal access to the courts. If there's an issue that affects them, such as sexual health then it's absolutely essential that it is that minority group that is allowed to develop and implement the polices to deal with it (and by policy I mean the methods, not necessarily anything written or legislated) as opposed to people outside that group telling them what they think is best; as it doesn't work. And if you look at the statistics, which I have done now for many years, although it is decreasing (due to being so far away from the initial outbreak), homosexually active gay men still have a much higher rate of SDI testing than the base population. It really needs to be higher though, so some education for the new generation may be appropriate to let them know just how important it is.
So I ask again - how is any of it relevant to the question of minority rights?
