I believe that all religious manuscripts were written by men who claimed to be inspired by their respective god. Who wrote the bible, the old and the new testament? Why do preachers always say "And god said". and god want". I don't believe that god said anything nor did say he wanted anything. Who wrote the Koran and other religious books? Men, by people like you and me

one thing you should understand is that most the stories in the new testament where only compiled into something resembling the new testament over 300 years after jesus died in the council of nicene because the roman emporer got sick of having hundreds of different types of christianity around and wanted it orginized into one form. another thing is that it was only decided by vote in that council that jesus was the son of god as quite a few early forms of christianity didnt teach that. another thing to consider is that reading and writing was very uncommon those days so many of the stories about christ where handed down in oral form for many many decades before it was written down. and if you have ever played chinese whispers at school you know how much a simple message can change once it has gone through 20 different people, let alone a complex one going through many many years. so personaly i beleive jesus did exist but he was more like buddha, a human being who attained enlightenment. and if you look carefully you can actually see quite a resemblance betwee some of the new testament teachings and buddhism. but i also beleive hes message was corrupted by men who had no real understanding what he was saying. well that and time

The question coes down to inspiration. All religious books were physically written by someone. Christians believe the Bible to be divinely inspired. Why?

66 books over a 3000 year period written by dozens of human authors.

No contradictions
Prophecies proven true
Consistent with other accounts of human history
Only book known to work every time its concepts are tried.

No,
he lead by examples,
words were only a form of invitation,
he used examples and miracles to be remembered,
he knew words could be misunderstood,
his awareness and perception,
was at a God-like level,
he knew this ahead of time,
so used examples,
the secret is inward,
that is why he said,
you are my brothers and sisters,
you to shall do what I can do,
and even greater,
If you cannot believe in what I say,
believe in yourself,
there you will find the truth.

that was about christianity

about islam, the prophet Muhammad Recited those verses despite being illiterate

the Quran challenged the Arab poets to come up with something better in terms of poetry and to prove that what he said was false.

if it was written by guys like u and me, then 1) bring a chapter of verses superior to the Quran and 2) prove the Quran wrong in 1 matter.

But you'll never do it, and you wont do it. but you'll insist on what you are believing in right now.
