Imagine that there's a shipwreck, and ten survivors are washed ashore on a deserted island. All of them have complete amnesia, but they retain the ability to read. The only book they have is the Bible (let's say it's the NIV). For the next five years, they study the Bible and use it as the basis for a religion they develop (which they call "Biblianity"). How similar would their doctrines (and worship services) be to what we'd find in your own church among your Christian brothers and sisters?
Or, in the alternative, is it perhaps more likely that they'd spot the same contradictions, inconsistencies, and outright horrors that I did, and simply reject the Bible out of hand?
