Given that the writers of the bible were anonymous, I don't think you're in a position to say how they died.
There writers of the bible gave their lives for legends and myths they thought were true or wanted to be true. You can truly believe in bullshit and truly believe that bullshit is is fact.
Humans have fought and died for all sorts of absurdities thinking they were true.
So no one is claiming all of what the writers wrote was a deliberate lie. We are not accusing them of lying, as much as we are accusing them of being mistaken.
I find it hard to accept a book that took over 1,000 year period with over 40 authors and books left out was the result of a divine hand. I do believe humans write fantasy stories because they desire them to be true and most likely combined that by convincing others it is true they gain influence and power.
