If God, Jesus, the devil, angels, and demons were all real, we still couldn’t rely on the Christian Bible as gospal (pun intended) — it was written by humans, specifically men, who could have misunderstood or invented things. Think of it like the Snyderverse in Man of Steel: Superman is portrayed as a brooding, violent character — but that’s not his true nature. In Batman v Superman, Batman is straight-up killing people — also not his normal characterization.

So even if much of the Bible reflects real events or real beings, parts of it could still be distorted, exaggerated, or entirely made up by the people who wrote it down.

      The best way to convert to atheism(or at least convert away from christianity) is to read the bible and take notes. The second best way is to talk with christians about controversial topics.

      An even scarier thought is that the Bible could actually be making them seem way better than they are in reality.

      Idk it’s one of the most popular and influential religions, so it kinda got ol Yahu a boost most other deities haven’t. Probably one of the only effectual things made by committee in history.

      Kinda shows how messed up humans are though doesn’t it?
