No, they don't have some fictitious writing supporting their rights to a homeland but, <snip>
The book you mention is the greatest fictional book ever written...
I am sorry you have not educated yourself. The Bible is not a work of fiction. Not in its entirety. Many of the historical parts of it have been proven archeologically.
Now, now Teddy....
I don't have to be a god fearing being to be educated...
You agree that the bible is fictitious in many ways, more than it can be reliably used as a historical reference book!
Yep, parts of the book ARE proven through archeology, but let's face it, most is made up mumbo jumbo!
Now now, Humanity, you know better than to put words into my mouth. For me to say, "Not in it's entirety" is NOT me saying "fictitious in many ways".
And as my fault, for me to say about it being fictitious, "Not in its entirety" is not my correct take on it either. I should be saying that there are parts of it that could be construed to be fictitious. Mainly the parts about the creation. I believe the Bible to be the Word of God. But in our modern age, we have to reconcile parts of what was written to our modern knowledge.
I'll try to make this short, lol. Say you were to go back 1000 years and tell someone exactly what the Internet was and how it worked. Would you explain fully what a computer was and its components, the types of processors, hard drives, memory sizes, operating systems; and then go on to how they were all connected and such? No. Would you explain about jet airplanes or any airplanes, or cars and the workings of the internal combustion engine and the whole chain of getting oil and making it into jet fuel and gasoline to make all those wondrous things work? No. You couldn't. You would have to 'dumb it down' to what the person could maybe understand at the time.
And on another note, how can an infinite being reconcile and explain things to a finite being. There are just some things that we as finite beings, locked so to speak into time with a beginning and an end, could never comprehend.
