As most of you know the Old Testament compared to that of the New Testament are very different.
Something that Richard Dawkins had said reaffirmed something that I have pondered before.
The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.
The common belief is that the New Testament was from the apostles and during the witness of Jesus and so on and so forth. Obviously different authors.
But isn't really God who is the author to all of the bible? It is the word of God. I realize that it was written by a wide variety of different people, God handed down the words.
In any of the incidents that this may not be the case, God would never allow the wrong thing to be written in the Bible.
What I am about to argue is that god is not the author of either the new or old testament. It is just lonely old us humans with a complete different perspective from one era to the next.
Compare that to the possibilities to that of us writing our own scripture today?
