"Rationalising the Bible" is a collection of volumes that cover the
books of the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible. Written by mostly
unidentified authors, the Bible is generally attributed with being the
moral compass of the world of Judeo-Christian religious adherents. In
fact, the Bible is mostly mythological history, inaccurate science,
exaggerated reports of violence and discrimination against the people
who settled the Fertile Crescent, and a set of laws plagiarised from
those already in existence in the area. Even the writing of it, claimed
to be that of the patriarchs, can clearly be identified, in the reading
of it, as belonging rather to a period when all people in the civilised
world were writing their stories. It was not written, as atheists often
charge, by illiterate nomadic tribespeople in pre-history. Instead, it
was written by politicians and priests at a time when the western
civilisations were making their mark on the world's politics.
