The very foundation of Christian and Hebrew religions is the Bibles. They
totally base their faith on the Bibles.
The Bibles are nothing more than books of myths, fables, contradictions,
human and animal sacrifices, genocide, slaveholding, misogyny, destruction,
barbarisms, and impossible tales. They are not accurate history and
certainly are not the words of any god unless he is an insane and totally
untrustworthy monster. They are not even good fiction.
The average person today does not appreciate the difficulty and unlikelihood
of producing accurate transmissions of the original Bibles. Firstly there
are NO ORIGINALS in existence. They are all copies of copies of unknown
accuracy.
One of the problems with the accuracy of the Bibles is that when they were
first copied, no marks of punctuation were used, no distinction was made
between lower case and upper case letters and more bizarre to modern script,
no spaces were used to separate words.
This kind of continuous writing was called "scriptuo continua".
'godisnowhere' could mean 'god is now here' or quit the opposite, 'god is no
where' depending on the spacing which was not used at the time. This left
accurate interpretation very unlikely if not impossible.

Any such attitude is condemned by me, but also by many right thinking
and sincerely religious people. The basis for religion is religious
experience of G-D or the spiritual reality of G-D. That experience
may be direct or indirect, through ideation.

They are indeed despicable. But I sense a germ of truth in them,
which I try to uncover and develop.
