Why religion is fading in the West

56. That is because you think they should have written for a 20th century audience.

Take any modern day book back 2000 years and let them read it and they would be baffled and offended in how we talk and write...that is because language changes with time and so does perception about what good writing is...just try to read old English sometimes.

But it is true that the bible contains violence and injustice...but so does history books, and in fact our modern history is by far more violent than theirs, what they did to hundreds we do to millions.
And what you will not admit is that most of the bible is history not commandments from god...and that is where you and fundamentalist agree..that it is all commandments from god.
It is a basic misunderstanding. One by the way the Jesus tried to put to rest...there is nothing he said that promoted violence and injustice, in fact he repudiated it over and over again, and that is clear if you read anything he is reported to have said.

Much later, the Roman church put all those old books together and declared it all gods word...and you say it is too and that proves that god is a violent concept.
