Believability is relative, and dependent on your level of faith. What you find unbelievable, many feel is completely accurate and obvious. Just because you disblieve doesn't make you right, as well as their belief doesn't make them correct. Its about personal truth.
And Gimpy, the Bible has actually been purposefully changed multiple times over the years, with sections being added and removed over the centuries. The Catholic church has removed and changed a lot of the New and Old Testament, calling those section
heretical, which is a contradiction in termsif you think about it.
Example, the Book of Enoch (yes, I've brought it up before) was once a part of the Bible. Check it out, its a fascinating and in depth read describing the events that caused The Biblical Flood. Very "wrathful" depictiuon of God, and it in fact QUOTES God of several occasions.
