Like I said, I don't believe any of the men in those stories actually existed. At least not in the way they were portrayed.
We do have as much information as you do.
Most of us, if not all, have read the bible. Reading it is precisely what made us become atheists.
Reading comprehension is not for everyone, especially not for those who continue to believe that the bible is in any form the true word of god.
I was referring to the people in the Old Testament before Christ came. And I will agree that the bible, while important, is still not the end all be all.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
