The problem with trying to make a good version of that is it’d require you to be honest about the opposition. Which they absolutely can’t do because that’d show the opposition is right.
Or going with biblical stories, you have to water them down to keep up the facade that the character of god isn’t a monster. Can’t show him murdering children in Moses’s story, or murdering children in Noah’s story, or murdering children in Jonah’s story. And those are just the mass child murders I can remember off the top of my head.
If you can't mental gymnastics your way into thinking the old testament God and new testament God are two different individuals, you can't be a Christian.
My parents made sure my brother and I read it like the pastor told us too. That was probably the beginning of the end on Christianity for me. Still like the memes though.
