Has anyone ever considered the 'bible' may have been written by an educated person with a good sense of humour and a talent as a great story teller. Artistic licence has always existed and this great story teller may have seen, say, a spiritualist medium 'healing' people and decided to write a book about that person but expanded upon what he actually saw.
Let's be real about things like turning water into wine? - the work of a talented illusionist - raising from the dead? - he came out of a deep coma after being left for dead. The bible is an excellent history book but nothing more.
I was brought up CofE but throughout life I have seen things for what they are and it makes me laugh when I see and hear people of all religions who are so forthright in trying to persuade us that there is a god and there was a man called Jesus - so much so that some religions will encourage the death of others to make us believe what they believe in. Grown up men? I don't think so.
