...and therefore reasoning will have it, that "ALL things written in Antiquity not just the bible; the writings, reports, witness statements & testimonies that make claims of individual events around everyday life are "factually" mere assertions". Ok got it.
The description in context where God intervenes is written in the bible, i.e. because 'it says so'. In that, I mean narratively speaking... just making sure we have the same understanding in context e.g. Like God taking the Israelites out of Egypt etc..Here at the least, there's some little semblance to 'entertain the idea', 'envisioning' the logic behind the biblical belief, although be it, you have a different, and imo a distorted view of the bible than I.
So God got pissed off at this and took his ball and went home, and now won’t intervene at all, like when Hitler and Stalin slaughtered tens of millions of people and God did exactly jack shit to stop them, even though he knows everything and is omnipotent? Yeah, makes sense.
I honestly don’t know what you are trying to say above. I am merely pointing out that according to you, God has intervened many times in human history, and I am asking you, who believes this claim without a shred of evidence to support it, why he does not do so now.
The many writers are what made it for me, and others like me, which was a gradual process. There are many different aspects to it really. Just one example, is the psychological aspects described from their emotional state/psyche, as being the writers, or the people they describe that's written about, e.g. the compassionate effects of a person engaging with another.
There is the 'absolutely' strong emphasis that commands Truth and Righteousness. The consequences of false witnessing,especially if you make false claims in the name of God in your writings. Having the view that in their minds, having the strong belief of the line that says: 'the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom', influences how the authors writes from his conscience.
There's all sorts of aspects to the bible to cover in which I am not talented enough to articulately put into one post, or a few even.

) was controlled by Satan and must be destroyed. By the end of one semester being around these folks, I realized I had been taught a lot of often hateful mythology and was on my way towards atheism, which included a nearly 10 year journey that included studying other religions, praying for answers etc. Finally the truth had set me free and I've been much happier and well adjusted as an atheist compared to how I felt during my child hood or as an indoctrinated teenager. Do you believe that your god will punish people like me? Or do you believe that your god is more loving and forgiving and if he must judge, he will base it on character and good works, and not beliefs? I've never understood why what one believes is so important as long as those beliefs aren't used for harm.
