@christians/Catholics What are your thoughts regarding research into the histrocity of the bible and its true origins. For more than a century now scientists have been researching the composition of the Bible and most peer-reviewed scientific studies agree that the Bible is a collection of numerous different texts composed by different human authors centuries after the events they purport to describe and that these text were not assembled into a single holy book until long after biblical times. For example where as King David probably lived around 1000 BCE it is widely accepted that the book of Deuteronomy was composed in the Court of King James I have Judah sometime around 6:20 BC as part of a propaganda campaign aimed at strengthening josiah's authority . Levictus was compiled and even later date no earlier than 500 BC. At the very least, it seems Christians and Jews claim that the Book of Leviticus was dictated by God to Moses on Mount Sinai and from that moment on nothing less changed. But theres no way to prove this. The pope argued that the donation of Constantine was composed by Constantine himself in the 4th century when in fact it was forged 400 years later by the Pope's own clerics. Ultimately, according to our best scientific knowledge even Levictus and its injunctions ( including some very brutal ones against homosexuality) reflect nothing more than the biases of a few prison scholars in ancient Jerusalem.
