Why didn't anyone (especially atheists) tell me that the Bible could be read as an epic fantasy novel?

[Anonymous No.16783389]

Because it's always been obvious that that's what it is

Not if you grow up in the Bible belt. All they talk about is Jesus and hellfire.

Nobody gives a fuck about retarded american protestants. Engage with spirituality honestly and open mindedly or dont bother and go back to reading sci fi novels.

What's the best version to read as a fantasy? I know there are a few versions that got pozzed by some kings and shit. I want maximum fantasy and fun.

>What is mythology?
It's not my fault you've been too dense until now to realize that these stories have been preserved for so long for a reason beyond "muh hekkin' God tho"

What a silly thought. Of course people care, even if you want to stick your head in the sand.

everything is spooky, calling things spooks is merely another spook. everything you can say is a spook. not seeing this is just deluding your self.

I always thought it could. I'm pretty sure most universities offer a class "The Bible as Literature" that is popular. I also like it because you can just crack it open at any spot and glean some wisdom.

[Anonymous No.16784893]

The Bible is not fantasy. It is an interesting read though, due to divine influence.

Entire thing is a fanfic, the hack editors just declared a few as canon.
