    I mean, anyone who's spreading a good message is "serving as God's tool"... but people are imperfect and fallible. And the many that believe 'God was writing' books that literally start with "Paul... to the Church of Corinth" or something like that are 'religious' the way I am a physicist because I understand things fall when I drop them, lol. People are intellectually lazy and lead mostly hedonistic lives, what's new. 😭

    A poor craftsman . . .
    God is obviously shite at tool use.
    Probably needed a few more years as an apprentice before he started fucking around with firmaments and stuff.
    I mean hacking together a whole human out of cutoffs? Just pony up and order more stock, cheapskate.

      Heretical thoughts are sometimes necessary in the path to enlightenment. I'll allow it. πŸ™ƒ

        That's not even textually true, as many books start with "this is X, son of Y, and I'm writing to you". But people are functionally illiterate. 🀷

        People? Sometimes. Christians? It seems like a requirement.

          In terms of the New Testament - There's a few writers who based their stories off Macion's Evangelion. And then some more who just made shit up for the sport of Apologetics. After that there were hundreds of scribes who poorly translated and changed the text, either by accident or on purpose.

          I haven't seen the Stylometry of the old testiment, but I'm guessing it's almost all stolen from other regious texts. Genisis alone has two competing creation stories.

          80+ authors is what I'm assuming.

              It was written by men. Very specifically men, as it happens.

              Your meme is an inaccurate depiction and therefore not funny!

                    They look at one verse, 2 Timothey 3:16
                    "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,"

                    and apply that to the entire Bible, including the letters written to different sects in different cities/regions clarifying rules to keep them from breaking apart. Kinda like from Ghost, they imagine god reaching down and writing through people I guess.

                      Thanks for the reply! In the end, to any reasonable adult, truth is evident from falsehood and "good words" stand by themselves. Solomon's "everything is vanity", Jesus' "it's easier for a rich man...", James' "faith without works is dead", all of it just makes sense, and because they said (and did) a lot of deep shit that made sense these characters became iconic. But the words by themselves are meaningful or not! πŸ‘

                              I'll sell you a signed copy of any book you like provided that it's still in on print and you're not really fussed about who signed it. (Buyer pays shipping, tariffs, taxes, usury and attention)

                                Just read the name written in reverse. This will undo creation and allow you to escape the trolling. πŸ‘Œ
