The Bible isn't just fiction. It's a mix. Do you deny historical accuracy?

I deny that any historical accuracy prevents it from being ficiton.

What ? A mix of fact and fiction ?
The bits that are accurate are infallible and the bits that are fiction are . . . . well stories.

Well, it is made from many authors and put together at a much later date. All or nothing is a very narrow-minded view, no?
If one pixel in your eye does not funtion and your mind fills it in with non-existent stimuli, does it render everything you see a halucination?

Until it is demonstrated to be anything more than run-of-the-mill xtian horseshit, why bother?

Does "Dracula" taking place in an actual country keep it from being entirely fiction? The fact is, the bible could be a completely historical dictation until a dead jew rises from the grave, without which the bible is nothing, and it would still be fiction.

Soooo, since science knows that the mind fills in non-exsitent data in one's perceived vision, I can claim everyone hallucinates?

What do you think is "accurate"?


(This could get interesting, after all.)

Kings, geneologies, geography, scientific facts (both direct and possibly eluded to), prophecies, etc...

But I'm looking for a logical reason to either believe in the "infallible word of God" theory or not.
