In turn, this means that the Bible can not be taken as the literal "Word of God", but only as a collection fumbling attempts by a series of humans to explain their existence with allegory, analogy, and metaphor.
What I meant to say was clear and that is Word of God is literally from God (as in, written by God) rather than inspired (as in, what you are referring to), I never said that the words aren't allegorical.

Atheism isn't the lack of a belief in a creator, it's the lack of belief in a god. If there is a god then it's not an atheist.

God wrote something? Literally?[/quote] Obviously through revelations from his "apostles", but it's his words and they were commanded to write every single word that he said, not just inspired.

True, and if God believes in himself to exist (which he does), he's not an atheist as God is God himself, and the poster who said that it would translate to atheist is a moron.

O.k. soo there was no actual writing in regards to this being. You ever hear the story about the kid who said he has blue shoes with a red stripe, and pass it on. It goes down the line, and after a few kids it ends up being a purple glove with a yellow string. Same concept. Somewhere down the line, I actally thought god wrote something, until you corrected it. But now you have to go back to where you heard it from, and he is dead. Actually a whole group of them, that had all kinds of things to say. Dead. A multitude of misinterpretation. That is my interpretation.

It's still "God's words", they are just not dramatized and fictional stuff added by the apostles as they were biblical inspires, got it?

Odin is not a minor deity! He's the main dude of the pantheon, more or less.

But god would have to have a god to create him he couldn't just always be there since every origin has to have a pre origin so a god would have to create another god but since there is no other god given if gods exist that god doesn't believe in another god hence it would be an athiest!

(Hopefully I fixed all the quoting...)

So when people made later changes, they were instructed to by God as well?

I cannot believe that you're this much of an ignoramus. You don't understand the concept of God, when you do; you can talk.
