   It does not matter what they record. "Recording" something does   
   not make it true. Much of history is false.

   No, you do not understand. Gods are myths. They did not exist   
   them, and they do not exist now. They never walked anywhere. They   
   never did anything. You can quote bible nonsense until pigs fly   
   and it will not change anything so try a more intelligent approach   
   next time.
