I think "reasoning" is the wrong word. "Random thoughts" is better.

Exactly how much "reasoning" went into making shit up and pretending that was real? Which basically sums up every mythology ever invented by human beings, including the mythology so beloved by creationist bibliolators.

Quite simply, every mythology that has ever been invented by superstitious, pre-scientific humans, erects assertions that are either deliberately constructed to be untestable, in an attempt to evade awkward questions, or just plain, flat, wrong. Treating these stories as if they constituted established fact is, in the modern scientific age, infantile, and this applies to all of them.

I don't think that mythologies are so wilful, knowing or clever. They don't erect untestable assertions, these assertions just characterise a mythology. However I do agree that such beliefs, if held, often tend the adherent towards accepting and adopting the primitive level of reasoning and understanding displayed by their tradition's ill-informed progenitors.

Actually, Potterism was based on the revelations of J.K. Rowling by the word of Beatrix Potter. The Tale of Ginger and Pickles (1909).

That was the Old Potterism. Rowling is the New Potterism.

Heretic. The Old Potterism is the ONLY Potterism.

Old Testament was Aramaic (written in Hebrew script), the original New Testament texts were Koiné Greek (a colloquial form of Hellenistic Greek, itself derived from Attic Greek), and all of these texts were first translated into Latin, before being translated into other languages.

Actually, the old testament, with a few exceptions (a few chapters of Daniel and a few chapters of Ezra) is written in Hebrew.

The script normally associated with Hebrew is a later development, an offshoot of a script previously used by the Assyrians:
אבגדהוזחטיכךלמםנןסעפףצץקרשת
The original Hebrew script - which it is kind of likely the script in use when the oldest parts of the Bible were written looks quite different from that (although some resemblances can be found) and is still in use among the Samaritans. It was still in use during the first centuries CE as a "less holy" script among the Jews, so God's name written in paleohebrew script wasn't that holy, but if it was written in Hebrew script, burning that text was sacriledge.
