The new testament is basically written in "wardine be cry" language. Koine greek was a bastardized patois not respected in the world of greek literature.

The New Testament is boring as fuck. The Old Testament has all these wonderful stories about the meaning of hardship and the personal characters of great men, and then the New Testament is just like, "Believe and you'll be saved".

The consistent referencing and repainting of the old testament is probably its only strength. By referencing greater literature than itself it succeeds in garnering respect and also gets people caught up in the scholarship of all the references.

All religions end up like that, because it is the ultimate distillation of the religious thought pattern

It was written for a people who weren't much liked themselves before they started copulating like rabbits and deceiving good people with their slave ideals.
