nobody seems to know but do you think the man that wrote the bible would be surprised that Billions of people would actually believe it was for real?
I bet you he would turn over in his grave that people actually took his fiction book and turned it into reality.
I cant believe people actually believe it to be divine lol.... Ironic huh?

Actually, at the council of nicea in the 12th century, the various gospels that make up the bible as we know it today were voted upon whether they would be considered cannon (part of the collection that composes scripture). Many gospels we don't have included were rejected. The gospels were written by many authors.
Maybe they are turning in their graves, not so much because people actually believe what they wrote, but because war and other atrocities have been and are being commited over what they wrote. It's not funny at all.

First of all, the Bible isn't a novel (though there are critics who study it as a literary work, but that's different). It was not a novel written by one person, but a collection of stories and records written, compiled, or transcribed by hundreds of prophets, scribes, or scholars. It took centuries for the Bible to develop into the book that we read today, so there is no way it could've been written by just one person.
I understand that people have different interpretations of the Bible, but please do basic research before posting such a naive question.

The Bible is a collection of writings. They were chosen by a select group of men (King James Version) with the intention of creating one cohesive book for all the believers. Naturally there are quite a few conflicts. The interpretation probably isn't bad but unless you have been sucked into the Chrisian belief system it is clear that the bible is flawed.

i individually do not think of I truly have room to declare that as i've got in no way achieved an entire novel. I truly have dedication themes. (; i basically can not persist with a narrative, i'm going to think of of something new and that i can not even worry going back to the different tale. undesirable habit, which i'm attempting to break. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, like I mentioned, i individually have not got everywhere to declare that i ought to write a greater suitable tale- a minimum of they wrote an entire novel! yet, I truly have study thoughts the place i've got mentioned, "i can do exactly fairly much as good, or greater suitable! Why do they get to be revealed?!" *cough* Stephenie Meyer *cough*. it truly is problematic, very properly. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it basically provides me greater of a reason to artwork not trouble-free on my very own artwork so i can blow them out of the water! (: BQ: No, i individually do not. it truly is form of a shame, through fact it form of makes me a depressing man or woman to be around each so often. no person needs to pay attention, and that's ok. i've got controlled this a techniques. could it truly is helpful? Yep. Do i desire it? Nah. BQ2: My best guy buddy, my grandma, my neighbor, a random beautiful guy at this competition I went to as we talk... So sure, somebody has made me smile. BQ3: Uhh, i've got basically been twiddling with it... Eek! you may end it, knock your self out.

Wow, such astounding ignorance. Even most Atheists know more about the Bible than you just expressed.
