    I'm a 3 with a little 4... ie ...I think it's mostly 3... but I think over the years there have been Kings etc who have had the stories tweaked to fit with their ideas. "King James version" ... there's quite a bit of historical evidence to back that up.

    I don't mind folks who believe #2... but those who believe #1... to me they live in a fairytale land. They literally don't live in reality. I find them very scary.

    You are right Zibblu but also I think people who choose #4 are crazier than david icke and should join his conspiracy email list.

    What I like about the Bible - unlike most ancient documents the Bible does not try to hide things.

    examples
    King David's affair with Bathsheba
    Jacob sleeping with a prostitute
    Lot sleeping with his daughters
    Ham raping his own father

    Unlike most ancient documents praising (lying) about how wonderful the kings were - the Bible is a very honest piece of literature (whether you believe in God or not)
