Outside the Ten Commandments (supposedly), the Bible was written entirely by fallible humans - these assholes keep forgetting that part & act like it’s 100% perfect (which we know it’s not simply by its own self-contradictions).
Also an awful lot of it is about being submissive and letting people take advantage of you. At least based off what I see getting quoted all the time. Weird how it’s always people who’re trying to control you quoting it.
The Gospel of Thomas has stories of Jesus being a little shithead as a kid, performing miracles just to freak everybody out. He even killed a kid once, but brought him back to life when the whole neighborhood got pissed and threatened to kick Joe’s ass.
Excuse me but old baldy Elisha successfully cast summon shebear swarm and I posit any being able to summon and command not just a shebear but a swarm of shebears just might be infallible
starts off with an old man putting on a robe and a wizard hat and squaring off against a shebear. “YOU WILL OBEY ME” and then there’s no more old man. just robe and wizard hat

They left out the good shit. The Apocalypse of Peter preaching universal salvation and the Enoch books with all the cool stuff in them.

The Ten Commandments, famous for being identical and consistent across varying versions of religious scripture and sections within the same!

That’s a screenplay right there.
A whole movie about a woman who commands a gang of angry she-bears? Oh, yeah, I’d watch that.
