25. The Old Testament is clearly mythology and bad history

Parts of the Old Testament are cryptic, especially to a modern reader.

The New Testament is a political document designed to be so ambiguous that anyone can interpret it anyway they want for any purpose they want.

It doesn't contemplate oil (or much else that has happened in the last 2000 years) because the men who made it up had no idea about the future.
