BIBLE: HISTORY OR HOAX

Faith is belief without proof something that has either been said or imagined.  believing without proof what one has heard or read. Myths, "prophecies," "miracles," and divine revelations require faith to be believed. During ancient times (and even today) people have proclaimed beliefs in ghosts, spirits, gods, goddesses, angels, devils, witches, fortune-tellers, talking snakes, etc. People in every generation have told stories. The Greek and Roman Myths were their religion during ancient times. The Hebrews didn't believe in many gods, like the ancient Greek and Romans; they believed in one god; however, they still made up stories in regards to this one god. In this way they were not doing anything differently. Unlike the Greek and Roman mythology, the Hebrews used the names of some real places and real people mixed in with some fictitious ones. What they told was historical fiction. It is easy to dismiss the Greek and Roman religion as mythology; however, the ancient Greeks and Romans believed their religion just like people believe Judaism, Christianity, and Islam today. They too believed their religion based upon faith. Faith is not a reason; faith is the absence of reason. Isaac Newton said, "A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding." The truth is enlightening: come out of the darkness of blind faith and into the light of understanding.
