I always wondered about the historical roots of the books in the Bible. Who wrote the books of the Bible? When were they written? Why someone wrote them? Were they inspired by God? Wikipedia does not list the author(s): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorship_of_the_BibleIt seems weird that 2 billion people in the world follow this book but nobody knows who wrote it. Comparison of Genesis' first Creation Story with Enuma Elish, a Babylonian creation story The Babylonian creation story is called by its first two words "Enuma Elish." According to archaeologists, it was originally written circa 1120 BCE. It was discovered in 1875 CE. It bears many points of similarity to the first creation story in the Bible: Item | Ancient Israelite Creation Story | Babylonian Creation Story | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | Source | Genesis 1:1 to 2:3 | Enuma Elish | Date of writing (liberal belief) | 8th or 9th century BCE | Late 12th century BCE | Date of writing (conservative belief) | 13th century BCE, the time of Moses | Late 12th century BCE. | Author (liberal belief) | "P," authors of the Priestly tradition. | Unknown. | Author (conservative belief) | Moses. | Unknown. | Creator(s) of the universe | Multiple Gods, Elohim. | A God battling a Goddess. | Initial state of the earth | Desolate waste; covered in darkness. | Chaos; enveloped in darkness. | First development | Light created. | Light created. | Next development | Firmament created - a rigid dome over the earth separating the earth and heaven. | Firmament created; also perceived as a rigid dome. | Next development | Dry land created. | Dry land created. | Next development | Sun, moon, stars created. | Sun, moon, stars created. | Next development | Creation of men and women. | Creation of men and women. | Final development | God rests and sanctify the Sabbath. | Gods rest and celebrate. |
source: http://www.religioustolerance.org/com_geba.htmAccording to Christian History, the Earth is 7330 years old. Bible (66 books) was written by 40 writers over 1400 years period. source: http://www.bible.ca/b-bible-timeline-religious-history.htmSome disturbing verses from it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1367154.0it is so complicated to understand who wrote this book because we have too many options for this..

Well no one is lazy. They want a fight? They will have one.
What? no one is lazy?!? Have you... met... ... people? I made the necessary corrections. It was meant to say not all people. Which is one of the things religious people are counting on, I believe.

Good point... Christianity is the laziest of all the religions The only requirement is to believe Jesus will save you... That's it... You don't even need to know anything about Jesus... Christianity does not care if you were a murderer before you got saved... Christianity does not care if you were a murderer after you got saved... (Catholics might want you to confess, but God will still let you into heaven) You aren't required to read the Bible or go to church to be a Christian... You are not required to help the poor or anything nice... Sooooo lazy

you wrong.. bible was written by men who drugged-out ... You don't know the half of it... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MannaA number of ethnomycologists, including Terence McKenna, have suggested that most characteristics of manna are similar to that of Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms... If you read the description of manna in the bible... it sounds just like magic mushrooms... sprouts overnight, when its humid... looks like a small loaf of bread, the color of coriander seed... when the sun hits it, it shrivels up... causes 'visions'... Moses talks to God in the form of a 'burning bush' that doesn't get consumed by the fire (and nobody else can see)...

Most of the bible texts are transcripts. Some by hearsay, from prayers, and preachers. The tradition of science which tries to answer this questions, parts of, is found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_criticism. The latin word for it is exegesis. Latin was the language of the perpetrators, the romans. It is known they destroyed everything related to jesus, so even the new testament can't be dated precisely. The old testament, its origin is the talmud, and it contains the heritage of the hebrews. you should ask someone of them, a rabbi, about the origins of the talmud. but be careful, they are known to be very, very harsh.

You can be sure that people who wrote this were people chose by God himself, because the Truth couldn't be let written by sinners.

The Bible is even truth when it tells lies. Why? Because it says that they are lies, or it attributes the lies to people other than God. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

I remember a cartoon i saw once in my dad's hustler magazine as a kid.
It had 2 monks writing the bible and one says to the other, "Imagine if someday people actually believed this horseshit"?
Not sure why, but that always stuck with me.. LOL.

Except there is no God. There is absolutely no evidence for one. So "inspired" my ass. The guys who wrote these books were frantically trying to copy from other myths. That is why there is so many mistakes and off the wall stories as they tried to change the original myths. The end result is more nonsense. Garbage in, garbage out. Who are "illumined people"?

Then why did God write so much about how he loves slavery and genocide, but hates fags? What sort of immoral God do you follow?
