Never was a religious person, but started to read Bible recently, and here's some thoughts, maybe even from a little crazy side. There's two main sides of the book, one is narrative-based (describing events, happennings, meetings and such), and the other is highly cryptic (quotes from Jesus, parables, some of them stand out, like Matthew 13:15). It almost feels like some hidden communication. The thing is that out-of-place thingies, passages that are really weird, they tend to resonate with current events. Maybe because they were cyptic the first place, maybe because of mistranslation. Almost to the extent that it feels it is not a book about past events, but a book of prophecy. So, now the crazy dive. Now imagine a delta of 2000 years. Could it happen?

Also, how you could preserve information for that long in the time without printing press and social media? The best would be to hide the message in plain sight and make as many people as possible to learn and memorize it. Could that be original purpose of creating Christianity as religion? Could it be that we are yet to witness not the second coming of Jesus, but the very first one, that is supposed to release humanity from the bind of original sin (as per Romans 7 and later)?
