Ok, but this is something that you just think, right? I mean, you've never read that anywhere. Just curious.

2. It's been pieced together, added to, and abridged over many centuries, but I think the oldest parts probably have their roots in text originally written about 2,000 years ago.

But the Old Testament is much older than 2000 years according to the Jewish religion. Is it your contention that those tomes were written by Gentiles sometime in the last 2000 years?

I guess I know that you can't be convinced of God's existence on a web forum, but the historical text known as the Bible has a well documented history, which you seem to be ignoring if you think it was written simply to goof everybody. It seems like you might view Christianity as Judaism 2.0 or something. Judaism existed before Christianity, and Christians subscribe to the Jewish text as well, so when did the farce begin?
