You are honestly the first person I've met that's tried to claim they're not historical. I've seen many claim theyre fictional and things of that nature, but never that they're not historical.
"Big portions" morphs into "parts." I am sorry that I know more about the bible than Mr. Diehard Christian, or anyone he knows, but that is the inconvenient truth. Sorry, I love a good Frank Gore reference when I can slide one in.

JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
