A lot of the reading here sounds like biblical fanfiction. The word choice for a lot of it is off, which (in addition to many other things) marks it as a sign of not being a genuine piece of writing. An example of this is something like the inclusion of the words “broadway” or “druid” in Acts 29. There’s no book I’m aware of in the old or new testament that uses the words “broadway” or “druid”. Stuff like this does it no favors in terms of credibility, without even addressing the substance of the story.
Credibility and her close cousin Plausibility are neither in ready supply nor in noticeable demand here, in the Shoe Tale ecosystem.
