I was exposed to all the bible stories as a kid, but as an adult I have to "read between the lines". The bible was obviously written as a means of indoctrinating people with stories and ideas, the foundation of the religion, rather than accuracy. If they wanted accuracy they wouldn't have used so many parables for example.

Another example would be the cruci-fiction. I don't believe anything supernatural happened, although perhaps people back then didn't understand the situation and so attributed supernatural events. I think there are two or three possible outcomes from Jesus' cruci-fiction:

Alternative #1. He was executed and died. The stories afterward were concocted in later decades or centuries.

Alternative #2. He was executed and died. His followers found someone with reasonable likeness to take his place for a while. That's why what's-his-name didn't recognize him after finding the tomb empty. Then his followers set up a theater event where they pretended he rose into heaven with the spirits of Isaac and other long-dead ancestors. Perhaps a kind of funeral to benefit his dovoted and imaginative followers.

Alternative #3. He lost consciousness and was taken to the tomb to recover. He survived and arose after 3 days. However the leaders of the community didn't want him around, and he was sent into exile. They had him crucified as a warning never to return. After he was back on his feet they gave him a few days to get out of town. Perhaps Pontius Pilot felt guilty about crucifying a supposedly innocent man for impersonating a king.

Whichever alternative story is true, the account of Jesus' life stops. After that there are just a few stories of his disciples who went around Europe to different churches preaching, or something. That was followed by the end-of-the-world book of Revelation.

An account of the Jewish War was completely omitted from the bible. This is the biggest equivocation of the entire Christian religion. That, and the wierd need of non-Jews to derive religion from the activities of Jews. THAT is wierd.
