i agree with the person that said it's "truthful" not "factual"
i don't believe any of the things in the bible happened. (i don't believe in god but that's not the point)
but i do think it is a decent source of morals for people to follow. take Buddha, for example. he never demanded people believed in him or even cared for him. all he asked was for people to follow some simple guidelines to better your life. to me, that's all the bible is but in a different form.
also. jealousy is a sin.
"For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose
name is Jealous, is a jealous God:"
Exodus 34:14, KJV
"For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous
God."
Deuteronomy 4:24, KJV
logic tells us:
-if you are jealous, then you are sinning
-God is jealous
------------------------------------------
therefore, God sins
the bible just contradicted itself.
Exodus 20:17 - You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is your neighbor's.
