I agree. But, even if the Bible is not mythological it still contradicts every other story in it
and how do we really know that it is the word and the teachings of Jesus Christ?? Do you think that
at the time Jesus Christ knew English? I'm terribly sorry if this offends anybody's religious views,
but through time, the Bible has been translated over and over into different languages. How do we
know if it now is still or ever was the words or teachings of Jesus Christ?? |

If you look at the description above it says nothing about the whether or not the stories are true.
It states that a particular culture believes them to be true and that they use the supernatural to
explain the universe. How does the bible not qualify for those criteria? |

In every myth there is a grain of truth.
I have no doubt that at one time there was a guy names Jesus, and he did good things and had a lot
of influence on people. And perhaps there was a writing set forth that became the bible. But this
bible has been edited and translated so many times that there is absolutely NO way that it can be
true. It's like a game of Telephone, you start with a message, and pass it on, and by the time it
gets back to you it's completely different. |

Yes, it contains mythology but it is not entirely mythological. There are some elements that are
historical in nature, especially in the latter part of the OT, which records a lot of Jewish
history.
That said, all of the supernatural elements are clearly bunk and cannot be supported by any
objective evidence whatsoever. |

Yeah, it is myth. A lot of the stories were used to explain phenomena with supernatural means, which
we can now explain with science. Maybe a few stories are historically accurate, but in the end
they're just stories. |
