There is a wealth of information about how many things in both the Old and New Testamnets came to be there. Many of the stories in the Bible are retelling of older myths. There are many books relating to Jesus not included in the Bible that are very different than the ones that were included. It seems like nearly every Christian I have ever met thinks that their version of the Bible is a word for word translation, when it is painfully obvious that many versions of the bible vary greatly from each other. That being said why don't Christians try to find the most accurate translations? Most Christians don't know what sect of Jewdaism Jesus' family practiced? or What month Jesus was born in? (It wasn't December, that is clear from the shepards tending flocks in the fields they wouldn't be doing that in December) Also Christians will pick out what Rules in the Bible to follow, and to ignore. They also will take a single line, out of context to support a bigoted belief, why is that?
