Russell's Celestial Teapot is an analogy intended to refute the idea that the burden of proof lies upon the skeptic to disprove a claim, whether in general or in religion. By using an intentionally absurd analogy, it draws attention to the formal logic behind the burden of proof and how it works.
The patterns of evidence suggests otherwise.
The documents exist; there is no good reason to consider them based in fact.
Deities have historically demanded sacrifices, YAHWEH is no exception. Leviticus lists endless forms of sacrifices required. And of course Jesus as the sacrificial Lamb of God.
Again, the New Testament documents purport themselves to be true.
