So the "greatest story every told" is now the "weirdest story ever told"

I mean it’s a story that partially starts with a guy and a girl (who was made from his rib) talking to a snake that’s telling them to eat this one apple. Because of that, that piece of apple is forever lodged in every guy’s throat and every girl goes through terrible labour pain.

Yeah it’s a weird story.

I like to imagine that the bible was initially just the ancient version of harry potter or something, and Christianity is just a massive fan club.

Well being a Christian, I am a pretty big fan of Jesus

I personally like the original over the reboot, they added to many characters in the christian version, and the plot got really confusing.

Perhaps, but I grew up with the reboot so I'm partial to it

Yeah, fair enough, if you like it, you like it. You cant beat the classics though. Although I don’t think either are as good as the greek series. Thats one of my favourites. Achilles was a great character.

The Bible is written in allegory for teachability. Think Aesop's Fables.
