When will people take seriously the notional possibility that the New Testament is also a FAKE?

How can it be a fake if it is part of the game we play for the betterment of our civilization? This is not hard to figure out if each mythology has its own 'god' image that is real but not in a literal sense of the word real, that so becomes a sophisticated 'tall tale telling event' of which the loot is for keeps.

It is not the NT that is Fake. The NT is authentic but has been interpolated with fake material.

That is what people want me to believe.

They can't be serious.

I always thought fake material is evidence that the information presented was fake.

Default fake, fiction, and forgery

Sorry to disagree.

I believe that both NT and old testament are fiction, and that, further, the NT has been deliberately altered, i.e. redacted, edited, interpolated i.e. CHANGED, from the original text of fiction, so much, that it is no longer a legitimate document possessing any valid claim to represent the original authors' intentions. It is, in my opinion, a fraudulent misrepresentation of the original text as the ink dried from the authors' quills. In the original, in my opinion, this collection of books we call NT, represented nothing more than fictional fairy tales, akin to Aesop's fables, with cross reference to the equally fictional Septuagint.

The following is supposed to be some rock in New Mexico inscribed with the ten commandments.

I agree with you.

I hope what you say is applied to the epistles under the name of Paul.

It is not that some are authentic and some are fake. It is that the epistles as a whole were presented as written by a single character called Paul before the Fall of the Temple when it was known that it was not true.

The Pauline writings are integral parts of the deception produced by the Church.
