They didn't have to.
  They had an elite literate class, first in Jewish times then in
  Christian times, who did the readin' and writin' and stuff.

  This is the 10th century BC. Lots of stuff going on around the
  world at the time.

  Think about it; How do we know their names?
  How do we know their stories?

  The literate were literate.
  The literate taught the illiterate.
  People who write poetry use allegory and metaphor.
  It's not rocket science.

  I don't care of you don't like religion; I think a lot of it is
  stupid myself. But replacing one stupid with another stupid just
  looks stupid.
