If the bible is the word of god, and we are all born of sin and unworthy, then why did he put everyone’s soul in jeopardy by letting normal men write the bible?
AND let crooked men decide what books were NOT allowed into the bible?
The reason is because ITS ALL A SCAM. The bible is a copy of the older myths and legends that were COMPLETE works of FICTION.
Religion was put in place to keep the commoners obedient, while the authorities at the time kept the true study of astrology to themselves.

does it matter?
if the bible is consistent across all its books despite having been written over a period of 1600 years AND being written by men of all walks of life (from kings to farmers) wouldn't that be MORE evidence that the bible was inspired by one god?

the church had NOTHING to do with which books were included in the bible. in fact the books that were widely accepted as "canon" where considered such before the corrupt church was forming.
another note: the books that are disputed over were (a) written long after the first century and (b) usually disagree with the bible wildly, pushing doctrine that the church was beginning to push (like immortality of the soul, hellfire, even gnostic teachings)

zeitgeist has been debunked many many times.

yes, this is why Christians were burned alive as coliseum lamps, because it was all a tool by the romans.
please.... stop generalizing and simplifying things.

Here is what I think about God's relationship with this world. We are living in God's dream, and God comes and goes from his dream. God sometimes has control of his dream, and sometimes he doesn't. When God is in control he is having a lucid dream, he can perform miracles, he can manifest as a human, he can be a formless being watching over his creation.

Jesus did not write the bible because of the simple fact that he was not yet born until the book of Luke was written.

So we're all part of a dream an invisible man in the sky is having eh ?
Well there you go then, the invisible mans' nightmares obviously account for much just as well all kill ourselves now if that is true.
Christ the anointed is a complicated issue (New Testament) - His body isn't found. He is said to have lifted up on the right hand side of God
I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
Seriously why would an intelligent, all powerful, loving god create such a sick. twisted and vicious world of humanity as ours? Why would such a creator need to create a hell or anything painful at all?
Is your god limited in his power?
