the bible was written by dozens of people over many centuries - yet it is very deep and entirely cohesive.
Entirely cohesive?
The Bible contradicts itself and gives contradictory messages all over the place.
You lot have just developed a very convoluted way of thinking to reconcile ''Thou shall not kill'' with all the slaughter that goes on in the Bible. Or thinking homosexuality is a sin even though Jesus never said anything about it, but just completely ignoring other parts of the old testament.
Hell, the Bible contradicts itself on the order in which God created the plants and animals.
