It turns out that the Bible is 100% fiction, including the new
testament.

"For if the truth of God hath more abounded by my lie unto his glory,
why yet am I also adjudged a sinner?" (St. Paul, Romans 3.7)
"How it may be Lawful and Fitting to use Falsehood as a Medicine, and
for the Benefit of those who Want to be Deceived." (Bishop Eusebius,
the official propagandist for Constantine, 12th Book of Evangelical
Preparation)
"We shall introduce into this history in general only those events
which may be useful first to ourselves and afterwards to
posterity." (Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 8, chapter 2).
"Do you see the advantage of deceit? ...
For great is the value of deceit, provided it be not introduced with a
mischievous intention. In fact action of this kind ought not to be
called deceit, but rather a kind of good management, cleverness and
skill, capable of finding out ways where resources fail, and making up
for the defects of the mind ...
And often it is necessary to deceive, and to do the greatest benefits
by means of this device, whereas he who has gone by a straight course
has done great mischief to the person whom he has not deceived."
(John Chrysostom, 5th century theologian and erstwhile bishop of
Constantinople, Treatise On The Priesthood, Book 1)
'Clearly the Christians have used ... myths ... in fabricating the
story of Jesus' birth ... It is clear to me that the writings of the
Christians are a lie and that your fables are not well-enough
constructed to conceal this monstrous fiction.'
- Celsus (On The True Doctrine, c178 AD)
'Only lies have our fathers handed down to us, emptiness in which
there is nothing of any avail!' - Jeremiah 16.19
"Many things have been inserted by our ancestors in the speeches of
our Lord which, though put forth under his name, agree not with his
faith; especially since - as already it has been often proved - these
things were written not by Christ, nor [by] his apostles, but a long
while after their assumption, by I know not what sort of half Jews,
not even agreeing with themselves, who made up their tale out of
reports and opinions merely, and yet, fathering the whole upon the
names of the apostles of the Lord or on those who were supposed to
follow the apostles, they maliciously pretended that they had written
their lies and conceits according to them." - Faustus, the Manichean
bishop
'The Church forgery mill did not limit itself to mere writings but
for
centuries cranked out thousands of phony "relics" of its "Lord,"
"Apostles" and "Saints" ... There were at least 26 'authentic' burial
shrouds scattered throughout the abbeys of Europe, of which the Shroud
of Turin is just one ... At one point, a number of churches claimed
the one foreskin of Jesus, and there were enough splinters of the
"True Cross" that Calvin said the amount of wood would make "a full
load for a good ship." ' (Acharya S, The Christ Conspiracy)
"We should always be disposed to believe that which appears to us to
be white is really black, if the hierarchy of the church so decides."
- Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556), the tireless zealot for papal authority
- he was the founder of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits)
"What harm would it do, if a man told a good strong lie for the sake
of the good and for the Christian church ... a lie out of necessity, a
useful lie, a helpful lie, such lies would not be against God, he
would accept them."
- Martin Luther (Cited by his secretary, in a letter in Max Lenz, ed.,
Briefwechsel Landgraf Phillips des Grossm=FCthigen von Hessen mit Bucer,
vol. I.)
"And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they
should believe a lie." - 2 Thessalonians 2.11
'The forgery of pious documents of every imaginable character was
among the most constant and zealous activities of the holy
propagandists of the Christian Faith, from the beginning to the
critical era when forgeries were no longer possible or profitable.' -
Joseph Wheless (1930)
"Unsigned works are a peculiar Christian phenomenon, in works with a
dogmatic, apologetic, and propagandistic aim - in other words, works
already suspect, and thus made even more so by an author's anonymity."
- Richard Carrier
"In reality, the Neronian persecution never occurred. It is a fiction
of the Church, invented for its greater glory." (Arthur Drews, The
Legend of St Peter, p63)
"It is usual for the sacred historian to conform himself to the
generally accepted opinion of the masses in his time.' - St Jerome
(P.L., XXVI, 98; XXIV, 855).
'There is nothing so easy as by sheer volubility to deceive a common
crowd or an uneducated congregation.' - St. Jerome (Epistle. lii, 8;
p=2E 93.)
"There are actually some 200 gospels, epistles and other books
concerning the life of Jesus Christ. Writing such material was a
popular literary form, particularly in the 2nd century. The pious
fantasies competed with Greek romantic fiction. Political
considerations in the late 2nd century led to the selection of just
four approved gospels and the rejection of others. After three
centuries of wrangling 23 other books were accepted by the Church as
divinely inspired. The rest were declared 'pious frauds'. In truth,
the whole lot belongs to a genre of literary FICTION." -
