You have *got* to be kidding. The authorship of the NT documents is
largely unknown, none can be dated closer than a few decades after the
time of the events that they purport to describe, two of four
supposedly "divinely inspired" authors can't agree on the genealogy of
Jesus, the accounts of the Resurrection are mutually contradictory,
and they include absurdities like a whole host of dead prophets
walking around Jerusalem that managed to escape the attention not only
of any contemporary historian, but the authors of three of the four
Gospels. Reliable? Did you know that "gullible" isn't in the
dictionary?
