Why would an omnipotent being have enemies?

Virgin births, miracles, resurrection(s), gods fathering children, a global flood, messiahs, the underworld; it's very much mythology, and present in many other cultures.

The Bible isn't even consistent with itself, much less history and archeology. Israeli archeologists had every reason to find evidence for the Exodus, but even they were forced to admit that there literally is none. That's just one example.

If I were a religious archeologist, I would have focused on the saints rising from the graves of Jerusalem at the time of the crucifiction described in Matthew. It's a fascinating visual, and it's surprising that few Christians I talk to have even heard of it.
