What If Everything Written In The Bible Was One Great Big Lie?

Would our civilization survive this revelation?

It is no exaggeration that the scriptures is the very basis of western civilization.

Our legal, political, social and economic framework derives its authority from the holy bible. The fall out from the overturning of Roe v Wade by the supreme court of the United States of America underscores this fact powerfully.

White evangelicals and their conservative lackeys derive their power from this ancient book and it is why we are still locked in the asinine debate as to whether creationism should still be taught in schools across the world’s biggest economy.

But what if it was all one great big lie?

And by this I am referring to everything written in the bible.

From Adam and Eve to Cain and Abel. The story of Noah’s ark and the deluge to Abraham, his son Isaac and his other son, Ishmael and the promise that God made to him, regarding his descendants and through to the rest of the old and new testaments.

On the subject of Noah, you would have to question the veracity of some of what made it to the bible: specifically the incident relating to his drunken episode which led to one of his children seeing him fully naked.
