redredred I agree to a point though don't feel the need to swear about it.
It's not even a hypothesis though! A true hypothesis is a logical "what if" speculation of something open to being investigated, then either rejected or advanced by collected evidence to a theory.
The Bible was not cobbled together by a "pagan" Roman emperor either - that would not make sense - but by proto-Christians. They assembled the old Hebrew books and their more recent ideas of whoever Jesus was and whatever happened to him; to form a faith drifting away from its Jewish roots. The Romans did convert to Christianity, having failed to crush it by brutality, but they didn't assemble the anthologies that are the Bible and the Torah.
Much of it is nonsense, yes. It is just a collection of Hebrew myths and religious beliefs adopting older faiths like Zoroastrianism, and the Hebrews' distorted stories of their own history, up to the time of Jesus and his disciples - who of course were Jews and did not immediately found Christianity. That faith came later.
Believing in God, and believing the Biblical account of Jesus' life and death some 2000 years ago, although neither are provable, is one thing and a matter for individual choice.
Trying as ShadowWolf's friend does, that a dream or possibly drug-induced hallucination expressed in the Bible foretells the modern world's international politics, is hardly logical and certainly not useful!
