So, what is your favorite bible story? Personally, I am fond of the part where Jesus is alone and praying in the garden, and yet we have a litteral transcript of every word of his prayer. Seriously, how could that happen if there wasn't an invisible spaceman writing down every word and then waiting a few hundred years to publish it?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.What about where Jesus sent ahead for a donkey to be borrowed without permission. By riding a donkey into Jerusalem, prophecy would be fulfilled, thereby strengthening his claim to be the messiah.
At best it was a case of joyriding. At worst it was an outright blatant fraud.

Mines the one where a man of god gives his virgin daughters over to the mob to be raped instead of the strange man in his house. Then his wife gets turned into a pillar of salt for looking the wrong way.
My second favorite is the bald guy setting 2 bears lose on some kids for teasing him about being bald.
My 3rd is where god drowns the whole world except for one incestuous family.

A bit problematic for the literalists I would suspect.
Most axial age writings are better taken as allegory!
