You know it's a good book... and the New Testament especially, is full of suggestions on how to live a good, meaningful and even a spiritual life... but it was written a long time ago... before TVs and mass media... it was written for another age when most people were poorly educated and few could read... so it relied on parables, metaphors and analogies to get its message across... it was never meant to be taken literally
I would also be shocked that this could happen in this day and age were it not for the fact that the leader of the largest, most powerful country in our current World, seems to think that the Earth was
created 4,800 years ago...
