To me, the most astonishing thing is not the crazy stories in the bible but---------the billions of people that have believed all those crazy stories, for thousands of years, of YHWH aka Jehovah, and still believe that Jehovah is a God of LOVE, KINDNESS, COMPASSION who is going to rescue them and give them ETERNAL LIFE.
Humans will believe anything!
That's one of the reasons why we are dealing with Black lives matter, Gender Identity, whites are racists, Watchtower, Scientology, the Catholic inquisitions, and all the atrocities throughout history.
It's because HUMANS BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU TELL THEM.
I would venture to say that out of 8 billion humans, only a fraction can see the bullshit.
What give that fraction of humans the ability to see through all this and live in reality??????
