Not hatin'
But I guess I dont know what I am talking about......when it comes to the bible. Having only read three versions of it , and one of them three times.
I dont consider them as fables, but as interesting works of historcally based fiction. Unfortunately there are far to many areas of obvious fabrication to accept the texts as factual documents. I think the biggest problems arise when those individuals of an analitical nature attempt to explain these illogical situations to one of extreme faith.
Or when a fundamentalist attempts to "prove" what is essentially, an unprovable piece of the texts. The Noahs ark example is the most commonly used, as it is a completely impossible act of physical accomplishment, given the time and resources availible to the characters.
