Comment on If God was real (just go with it), then how he's portrayed in the Bible might not even be how he actually is.

There are centuries of religious thought by mystics developing upon the texts inspired in part by those stories. The parts based on common ancient legends comprise a relatively small part of religious texts.

And still, if anything that’s supportive evidence. The ancient legends that pop up again and again, that survive centuries of canonical revision, probably reflect deep and spiritually apparent features of reality.

Uh… yeah?

ALL those stories are based on previous stories.

I’m really not sure what your point is.

  Not really, no. A lot of the major ones, like the Flood, but there’s plenty of original content in every religion. It’s silly to suggest otherwise.
  
  And my point is that if all these same stories keep popping up, maybe there’s some significance to them.
