The tale of a group of gods arriving on earth, creating animals and people.
But one hateful, jealous, angry god betrayed the rest, sending his worshipers to murder and rape and destroy the cities and people who followed the other gods, human belief being the one thing the gods require to live. He did this by threatening his own people with years of slavery if they failed to follow his orders.
Once all the other gods died off, because there weren't enough people alive to remember them, he decided to have the ancient texts re-written to fit him in as the original and only creator, even though he forgot to tell his flawed worshipers to edit out the "We's" and the "Us's" near the beginning of the book.
All his book burning and scroll burning couldn't keep the intelligent from understanding the true nature of this evil god, yet his worshipers seem unmoved by facts and blatant contradictions within the very text that he devised to connect himself to his people. He was a weak and petty god, who really could not find a better way to communicate with his people than things easily dismissed as insane ramblings or vague witness-less testimonies that do not corroborate with any historical records. He even plagiarized a story more ancient than himself to make people believe he was the only one who had sent a son/part of himself down to preach his word.
All written in the perspective of the humans themselves, some short fiction stories added as well!

I don't really know what to call this, literaturely (how's that for a made-up word?), but i was just thinking about how some christians (note i have to say "some" because they can't even agree with each other on this "100% truth") like to claim that there never were any other gods - but the bible itself admits that there were other gods that existed. Did god create them, too? Or did they all come to earth around the same time, but Yahweh decided he wanted to be top-dog and has his people violently kill or enslave everyone who didn't follow him. The genocidal nature of Yahweh is detailed to every last bloody drop in the bible itself, i should point out, but was it genocide, or was it godslaughter? What good can come of sending people to kill other people because they're different in some arbitrary way? Isn't the best way to spread peace by trying to be peaceful and respecting others' beliefs? Is belief a fuel-source for the gods?
Can you think of one loving reason (loving to ALL humanity, not just chosen people - like he made a whole world of duds and decided he liked only a couple-dozen thousand of them) to commit genocide? To people who have done nothing to you other than believe in a god you don't believe in?
Anyhoo. Yah, I decided to sorta just make a small point.
I know a lot of christians are going to tell me i'm not reading the "right" stories. Well, if the whole book is supposedly the perfect inerrant word of your god, and his son specifically says he does not come down to undo his father's laws, then how can there be any "wrong" stories? Either scrap the whole thing, recognize it as mythical fiction and start over (Lord of the Rings has more morality than this book!), or believe in every last word like your god tells you to in the book itself.
Be a lot more fuckers in jail, though what with all the stoning people for working on sundays ...
