Why do historians believe in Viking sagas and Greek epics that talk about gods but they don't view the Bible as a useful historical tool?

>HURR

Because the Gospel causes trouble for the scribes so they try to bury it.

Say something valuable.

O you can blame the Queen of England for that because it was She who blocked the surfacing of Mishkan from under Stonehenge, 1.2m (4ft) below the Hele Stone.

They don't.

They generally don't, at least not without factoring in that it also includes a whole bunch of mythical elements as well that makes them unreliable.

There are glaring historical errors in the bible, for example when mary and joseph went to bethleham for quinitus census, the future villian herod had already been dead for 6 years.

Viking sagas and Greek epics and Bible stories are dependable, authentic, valid, genuine, and true.

Everybody knows that.

Modern historians generally treat all those things the same way, not openly affirming the supernatural aspects of stories but treating some information as evidence based on what the author would have reasonably been able to invent and what they would or wouldn't have had an incentive to invent. E.g. the Bible is probably an accurate source for a list of kings of Israel and Judah, at least back to a certain point.

>historical errors
According to?
Fuck off, STEMsperg.

the fuck you are talking about, bible is a great tool and used regularly. How its used, triggers the christians though. Tell them that bible cites towns moses visited that existed in iron but not in bronze age, or how they copied shit from mesopotamian myths and they chimpout as if you said BCE.

t. phd candidate in history who stopped talking to christians

after reading about that queen money whore in revelation 18 i must agree with you.
that queen bitch is certainly a fucking money whore and her husband is no better.

>vague shit claiming to be prophecies just happens to be referring to people and events in my lifetime

There truly is no end of suckers in this world.

Because it is common knowledge, that jews are liars

Yea, all of the kiss asses, Lol

The fact that there was never a flood that covered the entire planet and and killed EVERYONE except Noah. This is so scientifically inaccurate, I don't know how people don't immediately flag the Bible as bullshit.

Vikings dont conduct in jewry

Because it's still a holy text for a huge chunk of the world, with frothing fanatics on both sides ready and waiting to throw a shit fit no matter what you say or find.

Hey just because you drilled into the gold mercy seat (2.5c-1.5c), gold ark of the testimony
(2.5c-1.5c-1.5c), gold table for the shewbread (2c-1c-1.5c), gold candlestick, gold ephod-girdle,
gold breastplate, and gold altar of incense (1c-1c-2c), e.g., Mishkan relics; cemented with
Arundian Limestone / Pozzolanic Bluestone concrete inside the brass altar of burnt offering
(5c-5c-3c), and pulled augered cores of gold, silver, brass, iron, concrete, wood and bone
(radiocarbon dated) does not mean that Mishkan relics are under the Stonehenge temple,
1.2m (4ft) below the Heel Stone.

So shut the hell up Rockhead faggot fuck.

>when the bible and a roman document disagree on sonething the bible is automatically wrong

Who are you talking about exactly? There are historians who view the bible as being useful from a historical perspective and those who don't. Academia is not a hive mind.

>Christian victim complex intensifies

The Bible (non-Jewish part) describes the times the events that occurred in highly civilized region, filled to the brim with people observing documenting the events from different points of view, thus useless.

Sagas and Greek mythos is the best things there are in terms of historical source you can have, regarding entirely "in the dark" periods of history

>fact
Wrong
>muh STEMspergery hurr durr reddit sed it
Science is epistemological hokum, based in European power fantasies and literal fucking autism.

Fuck off. Kys troll.

pretty much this. The bible is used all the time, much in the same way things like the Iliad are used, that is they are myths with bits of truth sprinkled in

This is a joke you're joking right

To be fair, I've seen the other end of it used too, albeit not as often. I once chimed in concerning something about the Philistines, and said that some of their names recorded in the bible are a mix of Semitic and Indo-European naming conventions; which implies that they were an IE people surrounded by Semites and picked up some words from them, as the opposite seems much harder to support where they got their IE words. That had some ultra fedora tipper flip out at the biblical passages I cited to demonstrate names like Dagon and Goliat.

My classics and history profs and textbooks constantly cite the Torah and New Testament. It's a valid historical source, it just has to be used with caution.

BAKE

THE

CAKE

IT IS LITERALLY 2018 CE

No it doesn't. Fuck off, atheist.

You aren't a PHD candidate, you're an undergrad who took one history course.
No, Christianity didn't copy anything, you alt-right retard.
You don't know what you're talking about, make yourself a sink cocktail.

You're using the term "believe", which isn't terribly useful. There are elements of Viking sagas, Greek epics, and the Bible that verify and are in concordance with other historical sources. Are you talking about the metaphysical stuff?

this is your brain on religion

Because the Bible is made up.

This

>viking sagas
What viking sagas? Because you cant lump them all together like that. Some are taken as historically accurate, and some are not.
