That backed up enough for you? So, you read the bible but somehow managed to miss all the parts that might make your position look bad?
Does the bible you've read contain, for example, Leviticus?
I didn't say I became a Christian, I said I became a believer. And yes, the Bibles I've read contain Leviticus.
What exactly are your objections to the Bible quotes you gave?

Those things I mentioned are religious misinterpretations of the Bible inspired by other sources like Greek philosophy and mythology. I can't tell if you had gotten that from my post, sorry. So Jesus was a god, but not God. Not Jehovah. The trinity and immortal soul comes from Socrates and Plato, Easter and Christmas are pagan, Hell comes from old Babylonian teachings and Dante and Milton, the Cross from Constantine, the Rapture from Darby, the Bible doesn't state that the universe and earth were created in 6 literal days 6,000 years ago. That is nonsense.
(bold mine)
So, OP, you're a polytheist?
No. Like the writers of the Bible I'm a henotheist.
