I've read many, many books, and the Bible, and Koran, are the most elegantly written.
Note: you sound exactly like Trump, a known liar/con-artist (you know its a lie when he says, "believe me")
I haven't read the Quran myself, but I hear it is elegant when read in Arabic (but many become atheist after reading it in English, they say it's ugly)
The bible on the other hand, not so much... It's not poetic, it has pages full of laws, genealogies, etc., not elegant (though most of the laws are quite amusing... can't wear clothing made of 2 different fabrics, or eat meat and cheese in the same meal... wtf?)
The bible is full of atrocious behavior (as noted above), which you apparently don't mind...
I agree that 2000+ years ago, times were different... but the point is... to an eternal god, it should not change... a god with no beginning or end, who knows all of space-time, would not be such a prick in the old testament (angry, jealous, vengeful, spiteful), and a nice guy in the new testament... eternity doesn't work like that, it's a blatant contradiction
Multiple people have provided passages contradicting your claim that the bible is elegantly written...
Do you have any passages to support your claim, or are we supposed to believe you without any facts or evidence to back up your claim?
What claims have I made? Ive stated that I think
the Bible is the bees knees, as far as writing goes. Ive also stated that I think
Jesus was a badass speaker.
...
It would also contribute to my post count, which is most righteous for my bitcoin wallet.
So, where do we disagree?
So let's get to know each other, Moloch. Your move.
Did you just completely ignore my entire post?
Do you dispute my claim that an elegant book would not include pages full of laughably silly laws where the penalty is death (Leviticus 18-22), and pages of nothing but names (genealogy)? That alone contradicts the elegance claim, doesn't it?
Do you have any evidence to back up your claim that the bible is a elegantly written, "the bees knees as far as writing goes"? Can you provide any example of elegant writing in the bible? Anything at all?

How is this elegant, poetic, or anything other than bullshit?
It seems like you only care about your post count, and not having an actual discussion, which requires reading, answering questions, posting facts and evidence to back up a claim, etc
