It is very funny and quite disturbing how many Christians have no idea about how the Bible was created...

I am not even talking about who wrote the texts, that is a whole other mess, I am simply talking about how the Bible was created.

Many people treat it as the word of God, but it isn't, it is a collection of texts written by many different authors.

The texts that makes up the Bible were selected by a committee.

Just imagine you being part of a committee at work to create the companies next big product, this was a similar process.

The committee members all had their own agendas and motives for selecting specific texts that supported their own politics and their own views.

In the end we ended up with a weirdly written, contradictory work open to interpretation that is supposed to be treated as fact.

If you think about it logically, it proves nothing more than the existence of a vivid imagination and a thriving fan community.

It doesn't disprove the existence of a god, but it clearly does not prove it either.

Ah, you see, all those authors, translators, editors, and indeed committee members were influenced and guided by god to ensure the true word of god was passed down. The fact that different versions don't agree with each other is neither here nor there.

In the end we ended up with a weirdly written, contradictory work open to interpretation that is supposed to be treated as fact.

Ah, um, it's... yes, it's all part of god's plan. God works in mysterious ways, you know. Yes, that's bound to be it..part of the plan, mysterious ways, etc.

Many know all that. They simply say god guided their hand.

Yup. They always have that one, thought-terminating cliche to pull out. If you reject their claim then it's always shifting the burden of proof onto you to "prove them wrong" when they have yet to even prove themselves correct.
