Serious question for atheists.

Except it was written down by the Jews because it was passed down orally for thousands of years.
Yes, we have an entire library section for fiction.
You might be the only person alive that sees a once in a history of mankind event and argue it wasn’t unique and then when it was proven that it actually was dismiss it as fiction.

Your bias is off the chart.
 
And let's not kid ourselves here. According to religious dogma, being kind isn't enough. Every religion says if you don't follow such and such religious book, then you're going to hell.
Not true. The Catholic Catechism discusses this. First it notes that God has an everlasting covenant with Jews. It goes on to say that Christ gave Christians a mission to take the Good News and all he taught to the world--that it is The Way to the Kingdom of God. Now, the Catholic Church can promise its teachings--handed down by the Apostles from Christ--are The Way to the Kingdom of God, because we have Christ's promise that they are. The Church has the authority to proclaim this.

However, the Catholic Church has no authority to promise those of other denominations, religions and faiths that their particular teachings are also The Way to the Kingdom of God. The Catechism states that the Church hands down what Jesus taught, and those who follow other paths are left in the loving and merciful hands of God. And yes, this includes agnostics and atheists who may also be following the ways of God, yet do not have a belief in God. Having no belief is much different than rejecting God and His ways.
Did god choose the Jews as his Chosen People because he liked the way they smell when they're cooking in an oven?
It’s because they had a tradition of passing down their history orally from generation to generation.

.
the religious, religions have never stop being handed down through oral tradition, the spoken religion - the religion of antiquity.

it is the outliers that try and print scripture to fit their personal worldview and peddle it as the word from their deity to force compliance. the desert religions physical documents and structures that support them.

proof is the lack of corroborating publications not controlled by the scriptwriters, they do not exist for any of the pertinent times in history for verification or even the scripts themselves in stone etchings or clay tablets to verify what was at the time of the events their true meanings.

No.

Because passing down knowledge and traditions orally was what was needed. For all we know every nation had this knowledge but they failed to pass it down.
