Of course it isn't. It's speculation, like asking what if Atticus Finch had won that case, or what if Pooh hadn't got stuck in the honey tree. Nowt wrong with thinking about stuff.

Do you think that any none sense is present in the OT?
You mean "nonsense," right?
Because you want to read the Bible as journalism, it will all be nonsense to you. If you read it according to the various genres to which the different parts belong, it won't.
So you are saying you read the entire Bible. You haven’t found any nonsense in it.
Have you found any nonsense in the Book of Mormon, the Pearl of great price, Doctrine and Covenants?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by nonsense, so I can't answer.

Not necessarily. People have what if questions about stories that are known to be fiction (Star Trek, Star Wars, Batman, and so on).
The NT might be pure fiction or partial fiction.
I think it is ok to ask what if questions and in this case, it is a question about a god’s plan to get himself killed or get his son killed using some guy.

It struck me as fiction. But fiction isn't necessarily nonsense.

You will have to use your own judgment, your own individuality and choose.
Because if I tell you to think like me, the question becomes pointless. I would already know your answer.
It would be like showing you a blue object and asking you what do you think the color of this object is. There is too much constraint in this case and all humans are forced to answer “It is blue”.

No problem.
Have you heard a little about mormonism? Have you looked into its issues?

I feel the same with all religious fables
Care to list all the other fictional nonsense you’ve read in the bible?

Again, just because it's fiction doesn't mean it's nonsense.
