It's all a mythical mess..

It's all a mythical mess.. Yes it is but a mess but a mess worth studying for an insight into our species innate delusional tendencies and it's willingness (need?) to be hoodwinked by so called 'spiritual authority' over the centuries.

If you get through that you can fruitfully move onto :- http://www.oxfordbibliographies.com/view...1-0066.xml
Or I can simply dismiss it as crap because there is no evidence to support its veracity and the arguments and "evidence" that people do could support pretty well any of the holy books. In fact some holy books are far better supported then the Bible, for instance the Quran has far less errors in its translation and has not been edited nearly as much. Or the Hindu Vedas which have the grace of being far older then the bible, and because of that they lack the balant rip offs from other religions that we often see in the Bible, like Noah's flood or the ressurection meme.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

One of the worst outcomes of the Lutheran revolution was the idiocy of extending musical democracy to the entire congregation rather than keeping it with those who had sufficient skills and training to hold a tune:I.E. the choir.
The bible, if I remember correctly, tells us somewhere "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord", so maybe they have 'divine permisson' for inflicting that racket on us?

By and large true but how did Jesus and a number of other Judeo Christian characters get into it? Not to worry, contrary to frequent claims from moderate muslims that it's a religion of peace the Koran contains a number of sufficiently vicious passages to make any such claim void.
Sura 3:V 7-10 for example.

They just need to make a new new testament to help support gays and correct a few hundred things to keep up with the times.
