Well let's see... If you figure that history is written by the winners, then you are only getting on point of view. So it's naturally skewed. If you accept the bible as being factual, then you must accept the Roman Catholic monks who translated the New Testament as being absolutely honest. You must accept that their knowledge of ancient aramaic and greek was up to the task and you must accept that there was no ulterior motive in creating a book to control the masses. Too many thing for me to take on faith. The Bible, as most of us know it, is full of mistranslations and misinterpretations. Too many errors to be absolutely, unequivacally accepted as being gospel.( No pun intended!) There is a thread of truth in there, but the trick is for each person to find it for themselves. When you find your personal truth, you will find your personal God.
