It's not like it was a conspiracy. It was made up long ago, like all other stories and folklores, to explain how we got here and what we're supposed to be doing. There are dozens of other myths and whatnot that deal with the same thing. Certain ones got so widely believed they became organized, and grew to insane proportions, adding new ideas as time went by, and eventually became influential. Now we are where we are, with people killing eachother over who's fairytale is correct.
So yeah, it's absolutely horrible, but it's not like someone wrote the Bible and thought, "Yeah, this'll really screw 'em over."

I guess just as mean and deceiving as someone who would make such a rude and opinionated but ignorant question... that will only cause argueing and if anyone even cared what you had to say we would probably start a war over that too its just in our nature.

You are entitled to believe whatever you want. If you choose to believe that the stories in the Bible are made up, no one is condemning you for that. We all have "free will". Not just you.

2,ooo years before Christ the Egyptians although rather advanced for the times didn't have any experience with their politics or religious clout with which to compare and to a generally primitive thinking people it went fairly well at first and remember they did take it with a grain of salt unlike the hebrews who inherited these hand me down beliefs and added the tainted fervor of hypocrisy for their followers .

Terrible, unless of course there really is a God who spoke to man, then you have a different situation altogether.

They are the same people who enjoy telling kids Santa & the Easter bunny are really, but get even more joy out of telling them it was all a lie.
