No. Actually I just don't believe there is a God. But you missed the point... this is a thought question to show you the problem with believing what was put down on paper by men, not God. ANY man (or woman) can write something and claim it was inspired by God. If they were to bring that writing to you, by what criteria would you determine if it was in fact divinely inspired?

Plenty of ministers and "holy people" of our times claim to have spoken to God. If one of them presented you with a new bible so inspired, would you accept it as God's new word? And if not, why not? Wouldn't their communication with God hold as much weight as those who came before them?
