Some of, yes. I admitted that a lot of it is historically accurate, although some stories can be found in alternate sources and often with differences you could obviously attribute to personal bias. The recording of history is well renowned for being 'interpreted' at the hands of the recorder.
Most of what you originally posted though is wildly inconsistent.

I agree that living a decent, moral life is a noble cause that every man should endeavour to follow. However I wouldn't say that belief in a god is essential to being a moral person.

You're actually misquoting me. What I said was "If you take the Bible as truth you are just gullible" and I stand by that. Believing in a god and believing what the Bible says are two different things.
