This means you are automatically or delusionally assuming that the men who wrote down god's supposed word were 100% honest. Now as you will be aware, culture evolves, and in Western Europe, for example, one of our main cultural norms is honesty. Yes of course not everyone is honest, but the majority of people I meet seem to be. We are known as the developed world, this goes for mindset as well, Have you every been to the Far East? Mostly their culture is patriarchal and 'saving face' is number 1, honesty often takes a backseat to this.If we look at other parts of their culture we can see patterns, prostitution for example. London 100 years ago or more was rife with prostitutes, now it has evolved.It is fair to say that parts of the Far East will one day. Attitudes will also change as they do. So 2000 years ago we cannot for one minute assume that people were as honest as today and saving face and propaganda would much more likely to have been the 'order of the day' What do you think?
