So suspend disbelief for a second. Lets say they are not. Why do they show that human side more than other things? For sake of saying I would take the Sahara and plant a shitload of trees and make a river run through it and so on. Why would taking all the old testament…cause fuck that forgiveness shit be even close to human understanding. Is it just a dumbing down of said god? And if so how come the old testament, the best testament, vastly different from the hippie dippie New Testament?
Well the question of “why are the new and old testaments so different?” will have different answers if you ask a believer vs a skeptic. I think its just because these are stories written by people to control others, so the old and new testaments differ so much because different people wrote them at different times. To me, the difference is because its that religion trying to modernize, trying to change with the times.
