well, u r right in many aspects; however, u r missing one crucial point. The moment u start using the term "author" applicable to the Bible, the entire discussion doesn't make no sense. The assumption of a religious person is that the Bible was written by God (or revelealed if you will). When the laws of logic are used, then, putting it in the REM's words (no referrence to homosexuals LOL) - "I am losing my religion..." It's not my point of view, but just to clarify the things, ya know....
