While the Bible might be some kind of history book (would be nice to have dates attached, like a REAL history book), it’s also filled with a bullshitload of fiction. And not the “And some believe…” kind of stuff you read in, say a Hamilton biography. It’s more like, “You WILL believe or you’ll go to HELL, and no it doesn’t have to be proven!!” kind of bullshit.
And yes, so does the NT.
