Like there's some dude or group of dudes out somewhere just thinking up crazy stuff trying to control people, but not ever revealing their identity or group or ever taking the credit, but letting other people like the Church get all the credit o_O If I wrote the Bible you sure as hell bet I would want the credit and all the royalties! It just doesn't make any sense, to believe that some man or group wrote the bible. |
Maybe you're being sarcastic... it's so hard to tell, so often. I'm going to assume you're being serious.
The Old Testament was a transcription of well-known oral Jewish tradition - the "authors" weren't the creators of the stories, just the ones who wrote them down.
The New Testament's books have their authors names, in many cases, attached. And I need to point out that "the Church" didn't exist until something like 400 AD.
Anyway, how do you know that the authors of the various books didn't originally put their names on the books, but when it got compiled by the Church, they removed the authors' names?
