but the texts come out of an oral tradition, and were put into writing *many* years after the original events. Now you can argue that the 30 some odd authors were all "divinely inspired", and as such not subject to the vagaries of things like bias, memory lapses, embellishment, hyperbole and allegory. Or perhaps you could take those into account and take the *messages* in the text rather than the text itself to heart.
