    Yes people absolutely did write and read it as an historical account. You need to distinguish between multiple authors who did not sit in a writing room together and editors who collected the works. The reason why multiple reports were collected was to get at the truth. Long lists of names and events were included to establish historical credibility.

    Were you raised in a protestant country? Because this is a very protestant logic.

      Sounds like normal person logic to me.

      Why the F do you all need to make things about xyz religion that isn’t Christianity EVERY time? Just because we aren’t sleeping with you doesn’t mean we’re sleeping with someone else ffs.

        Sounds like normal person logic to me.

        Are most of the people around you raised in a protestant culture? Because that would explain a lot.

          Most of the people around me fall into one of these

          • Religious fanatics that believe if a baby isn’t baptised its the end of the world
          • Crazy people that believe 5G is the end of us, that have 5G routers in their own homes
          • People so poor they barely have clothes and food
          • People with close to 0 education working minimum wage barely surviving

          As opposed to what you seem to think I grew my own spine while most people in my life did all but sabotage me, besides my father, brother and a few others.

          The fact that you seem to think I can’t have my own thoughts and knowledge in my head shows a lot of your own character.

          Nobody taught me to think what you’re saying is dumb.

            you’re defined by your environment, either by aligning to it or by rejecting it. You’re never free from it. What I’m saying is that that’s your understanding of spirituality and religion, even if you reject it, because most people around you employ that worldview. And it has very little to do with your rational side or critical thinking.
