Apparently the topic of God had aroused his curiosity (or hit a nerve!). The answer to his pressing question was a quick and simple, "God wrote the Bible Joe."

Your post pretty much failed from that point, as the bible was written by men. I'm not going to debate the existence of god with you, but all religious texts are simply interpretations of "god's will" and explanations from an anchient age. That interpretation can be very different, hence why we have so many different religions in the world.
If you do a little bit of history you'll also find the new testament in its current form was decided upon many years after the death of Christ in Eastern Rome and that many gospels were declared heretical upon forming this consensus. That doesn't sound like God had much say in that portion of the bible considering he gave humans free will. That free will means all religious texts need to be read with the knowledge that they may have been changed or edited for political reasons.
