Unapologetic | Premier Unbelievable?

NOTE

The Awful Truth About the Bible

The speaker's childhood fascination with the Bible stemmed from an unconventional perspective where he found the enemies of the children of Israel more thrilling than the protagonists. He was drawn to stories of battles, beheadings, and ancient empires, siding with figures like Pharaoh, Goliath, and the Romans due to their power, armor, and grandeur.

This unique perspective sheds light on the speaker's childhood connection with the Bible, portraying a different lens through which he viewed the stories and characters within it.
