I think I'm beginning to see what the problem is here, unity100, and the reason you entered the thread in the first place. But I might be wrong.
It was because I called the Hebrew bible unreliable from the word go.
Judging from what you say above, since the entire Old Testament is a narrative, how would you say Orion influenced it negatively, if they didn't influence the narrative, since the entire text is a narrative.
While we debate all of this, it would be appropriate to keep the Orion agenda in mind, since agenda determines actions and anticipated outcome.
I agree with you, Protonexus, but if we are going to get somewhere, we have to agree on which sources are trustworthy to the largest extent, and which ones aren't, and why we make those assessments.
