No, I'm not, I'm including prehistory up to 200bce. Narrower..and narrower. Inconsequential, though - I offered an explanation for how deception and forgery don't really fit the narratives even if they aren't strictly factually accurate. It's there if you ever need it.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I'm not sure what gave you that impression—I'm Adventist. The entire church was built on apocalyptic literature lol.

Yeah, if you were to listen to Christians you would hear that they were constantly persecuted. Like during medieval times, Jews were stealing their kids and eating them, and Muslims also persecuted them. Even now, many Christians claim they are the most persecuted group ever. Even in places like Europe and the US Christians are in mortal danger and the most persecuted ever, especially white male Christians over the age of 35.

And how brave of them to still remain Christian despite all the persecution.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
