The Holy Bible is the most thoroughly researched book of scripture in human history, no other scripture has been so exhaustively researched and studied for 2000 plus years.
The Holy Bible constitutes the work of 42 authors on 3 continents over a period of 1500 years, and without divine inspiration, it would have been impossible to sustain the accuracy and consistency of its message for that long. The Holy Bible is the foundation of two of the world's three monotheist religions. Islam being the 3rd.
The Koran, OTH, is the result of one man's "revelations" over 22 years, and Mohammed only memorized his experiences and passed them along to scribes.
The Holy Bible remains the number one best selling book of all time and is the most widely distributed, bar none. There is no denying the impact the Holy Bible, particularly the Gospels, have had on human affairs.
One third of the world population are Christians. Moreover, 85% of the world population is affiliated with a religion of some kind,
IOW, out of 7.8 billion people, 6.6 billion of them believe in a power greater than themselves. Where does that leave you?
I don't care if you are an atheist, an agnostic, a pagan, a Satanist, or just an uneducated Delta Foxtrot, your world view is totally missing a meta-narrative, you have no over-arching story upon which to base and inform your world view. And you think we have a "distorted take on reality".

A very well researched book of fiction. And it portrays a very shallow description of what ever is in charge. We are not privy to the truth.
