That question only has validity if one takes the position that the Bible is a work of fiction. I'm fairly certain that PetroniusMaximus DOES NOT take this position, I know I don't.
So real stories of murder, rape, and torture. People being fed to lions, put in fierily furnaces, robbed and left for dead by their own brothers, etc. are preferable to fictional accounts of murder, rape, and torture. People being fed to lions, put in fierily furnaces, robbed and left for dead by their own brothers, etc.????
HUH?
