I believe writers were inspired somehow.
human perceptions then diluted the basic truths
but that's the way we are spoken to, throughout the religions.
as if to test us.
strain out of all the dross the pure gold.

Loved your quote, Westwend!
And you are right, but either of our ideas would be fought literally to the death amongst "honest" believers in "The Word of God." I doubt the Bible is God's word at all.

redoing the new testament would be nice too -- it's present translations are all based on medieval thought
but concerning the old testament -- it's reflective ov a viewpoint -- the validity there is seeing the viewpoint -- like guns -- or autmobiles -- it's not the item, it's the people who use it.
the bible can be just as deadly as the other two if it gets in the wrong hands and is used by the wrong mind.
a wrong mind is a beautiful thing to waste (to paraphrase a V.P. from Ohio)
