Hello, poopsie. I hope you don't put me in this category of extremism. I think all those myths you mentioned have much worth. However I lean towards the Bible because my upbringing required that I study it day and night and contemplate on it while I was asleep. I feel comfortable with it just as someone from Roman times would feel comfortable with Zues or in the renaissance, Merlin. Whatever truth there is in the Bible is not unique to it esepcially because it was not the first attempt to put truth into language.
Hi Sab 
You've stated in exact words why you are so desperate to believe in the bible. You've been indoctrinated from the time you were a child. I know that you're on a journey and starting to learn what it is to think for yourself which is awesome to watch, however your posts of late have come to reflect that you are more than willing to put aside 'fact' in your search of 'truth'. I think it's something everyone goes through and some stop when they reach the threshold of their comfort level and some push through that and no matter how uncomfortable it gets, continue in the pursuit of 'fact'. It's always a pretty thought to believe that something is out there watching over us, but as you've stated, the bible is not the first attempt to make sense of this thought. Why revere those writings over other attempts? Is it because of Constantine and his vision? It's his vision that pushed forward the notion that Christianity is the number one belief, after all and went on to provide us with the bible canon as we know it.
Morality tales, whether to be found in the Bible, Shakespeare, Milton or Grimm have a worth to us as a culture but they really need to be seen for what they are...tales.
