The Bible is Bad Fiction

Have you ever wondered why movies based on Bible stories tend to have such lame acting and ridiculous dialogue, why they're fit only for true believers who will adore anything from the Bible anyway? It's because the Bible is bad fiction.

Whenever I start a movie or novel and realize at the outset that the main character is named Rock Johnson or Lisa Starr, or the dialogue is simply unbelievable, I put the book back on the shelf or hit the stop button. I know within 5 minutes it's going to be a waste of my time.

This pertains to the Bible, too. The fact is, no one talks like they do in the Bible, and no one does what they do in the Bible. It's bad fiction, like most fairy tales.
