Considering the age of these texts, I find your conclusions to be overly simple, unbalanced and biased. It never ceases to amaze me how a group of people who see themselves as intellectually enlightened fail to actually take an intellectually balanced position on the things they hate.Again... you are missing the informational aspect; the transfer of information.Embellishment to make the account more memorable and easier to remember and pass down.Is that really what you believe happened? That all of these different authors were writing fictional novels?
Fiction such as a great flood and parting the seas?
In other words, fictional tales
No, the whale did not really swallow Jonah
What if, 2000 years from now, people read Game of Thrones and accept it as Gospel?
But if you want to dismiss that, be my guest. It's probably easier for you that way than it is to acknowledge what it really is.
The Bible is composed of morality tales meant to inspire certain behaviors. A work of fiction
No, the earth did not flood
Jonah was not swallowed by a whale
Moses did not part the Red Sea
Makes a good story though
My conclusions are that they are fictional parables.
Not the word of God
God does not have to lie
