if history was about winners, then the Jewish people wouldn't have been recording their own enslavement to the Egyptians, the blatent errors of their own kings (David, Solomon, Ahab, Josiah, Zedekiah to name a few) and their capture and enslavement to the Assyrians, to the Babylonians, and then finally to the Romans.
The Bible had been completed by the time the Romans had "christianized" themselves around 400 CE or so.
And to scripture guy, its clear that you are very familiar with the scriptures, as you can quote them quite handily. What I had in mind was 1 John 4:1, which talks about testing every inspired expression, because there are a lot of false things out there.
There are a lot of things to be discussed here-- however keep in mind that this thread is about the *existence* of God, and not about certain/perceived fallacies or hypocricies (sp?) of a certain religious teaching (though its not hard to point out a lot of hypocritical things in a lot of organized religions today)
