    who wrote the Bible?

    i had a nasty discussion at work with a lady that goes to a Spiritual Center that believes in both the Bible and evolution. so i asked her who wrote the Bible, to which she explained that many people wrote it and then pieced it together into one book.

    I learned that you can almost never win when arguing to people about religion. Its like those customers that think they're right when they are clearly wrong. They just won't give up. Or will just ignore whatever you say or try to explain.

    But yeh, I don't know who wrote the bible.

    Some crazy lunatic with sandcrabs.

    The funny thing is that there are a lot of people (Christians) who think Jesus is white and that the bible was written in English. Unfortunately, they don't even know the brief modern history of it, so how can you trust them with history before that?

    i think the bible was just a recording of the stories that were being told at that time. the stories in the epic of gilgamesh were very similar.

    ah, i feel so much better now. it's such a pleasure talking to you guys then to a close minded person who kept quoting me passages from different teachings. at some point i started asking if she had any of her own opinions and to stop quoting books.

    Why can't evolution and the bible coexist? Don't get me wrong, I don't think the bible is necessary or even a worthwhile contribution. However, I'd rather the teeming masses of people who claim to believe that book also believe in evolution rather than taking Genesis literally.

    The bible stories (the old testament at least) were originaly passed on oraly.

    Eventualy the Jews started writing them down.

    They also adapted stories (myths, legends, etc) from other cultures to fit it in their generic framework.

    In a sense, the bible as we know it now, evolved over thousands of years.

    Unlike Koran

    Which was written by God
    Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
    Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
    Towards the sun, carry your name
    In warm hands you are given
    Ask the wind for the way
    Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
    Accept all as it is and do not blame
    God or the Devil

    Ahahahaha oh my god. I thought it was a joke website. I'm laughing because it's not. Wtf.

    Fry in hell you Red Lobster lovin' blasphemers!

    As for the bible, it was written by a whole bunch of people, at different times. These times varied quite a bit....in some cases hundreds of years. Not all parts of the many testaments are actually included in the Bible.....just the stuff the church deemed appropriate.
