You can say that if it makes you feel better. however, the historical accuracy of the Bible, Old and New Testements are proven more each year.

As to whether God had His hand on the Israelites and responded to them, and now to those who believe in His Son, well, you can choose to ignore that if you’d like. I’ve made my choice.

Every time there was a war or a drought, they–but not a host of others–saw it as God smiting them for deviating from something or other. I find it hard to believe that they would bother writing such things if most of their contemporaries saw things the same way.

In any case, their preserved writing tends to give us a very skewed view of what life and society were really like back then.
