Who Dies For A Lie?

By historical document do you mean that you hold it in the same regard as you do any other mythological story or are you saying that you believe the New Testament tales about a virgin giving birth is factual?

The bible is a historical document in the same way that The Epic of Gilgamesh(spelling?) is historical. You can gain some knowledge about the culture and myths of a group of historical people. Occasionally, the writers wove real events, places and people(like King Herod) into their stories but The entire book is simply mythological[/quote].
