So basically you want us to ignore all the evidence within the bible that points to it being written by a civilisation that still held magical beliefs at its heart.
The original followers of every bible up to modern times took its contents as literal truth, why all of a sudden does modern society need to read the bible as philosophical writings in order to understand it?
Basically you’re trying to brush aside things like talking snakes so that you don’t have to deal with them. Let me give you an example:
John is in a book store and yells out to Marry “Look I told you Jabba-the-Hutt was real, it says so here in the good book of Star Wars”
Marry replies “You believe in a giant talking slug that’s unrealistic; no such animal has ever been discovered, and slugs can’t talk they don’t have voice boxes”
John stares back “No.. no.. you see Jabba-the-Hutt isn’t really a giant slug, hes a representation of a giant fat man”
Marry in turn replies “Then why didn’t they just call him a giant fat man?”
John sniggers “That’s easy, your looking at it to much, you haven’t seen the hidden reading as I have. George Lucus works in mysterious ways”
