[quote=Actor;2277673]The question is what is your point? You said "But if the bible is to be understood as fiction the way a comic book is, what motivates its readers to obey all the injunctions in scripture?"

Quote:
Does this not imply that only those who have read "all the injunctions in scripture" could possibly have any motive to obey said injunctions?
Yup.

Quote:
Does this not further imply that such obedience is what constitutes morality?
Nope.

Quote:
Taking it one step further does this not automatically make anyone who is ignorant of Abrahamic scripture an immoral person?
It makes him a sinner who needs be saved.
