Christians Who Rationalize God's Biblical Atrocities Can Justify Anything

4. My conclusion, after reading the entire Bible several times is that

no such entity ever existed except in the imaginations of some ancient story-tellers. So, I dismiss it as fantasy.

I see no need for any sort of supernatural entity at all. Apparently, though, some people do feel the need to create such an entity. Perhaps in a time when nobody understood anything about the natural world, really, such an entity served a function. I don't know.

The Old Testament, particularly, is just a bunch of stories told around a nomadic tribe's campfires. Why would anyone take such stories for more than that. Every primitive culture has stories like that. We just happen to have seized on that particular one.

Nonsense. Fables. Allegorical claptrap. Today, we know vastly more about the real world and how it works. So, such fables are no longer useful or needed. Toss it all, except as a historical collection of old stories.

Of course, that's just my opinion, as I state below in my signature line.
