If God don't exist then who wrote a Bible?!!!

40+ authors (aka goat herders) wrote it on goat skins over the course of 2500 years.

Interesting fact about the bible... they didn't start writing it until 95AD.

So for four to five generations, no one wrote a thing about your god. Then suddenly, everyone remembered.

How stupid do you have to be to believe this stuff? Sad

The New testament was written decades/centuries after the Son of God let himself to be crucified. The Old Testament manuscripts were written over the course of 2500+ years. Eventually they were compiled into the "Bible" manuscript in 325 AD (First Council of Nicaea).

The same thing with Quran. It was compiled decades after Muhammad died. Zayd ibn Thabit collected all the oral stories and put it into a manuscript.

All written on animal skins (goats, lamb) with ink made out of galls of oak trees or gum arabic.

Religious people have no idea what they believe in.

Actually, the O.T. was written in the period starting about 1,500 B.C., up to about slightly before 400 B.C. It was compiled as the Jewish canon (if you will) during the times of additions to it. Writings following about 400 B.C. - and some before not included in the canon - up until the time of Christ were not considered to be canonical by the Jews, but rather, were good, moral stories.

The actual writing of the books of the N.T. started some time after the death and resurrection of Christ... but not long after, and culminated with the writing of the Revelation around 96 A.D.

Because there were many people writing "stuff" and claiming it to be the words of God, scholars at the Council of Nicea (about 325 A.D.) examined, minutely, everything about all the writings they had, both from before the time of Christ, and after. They compiled the Bible from the writings that agreed with the Jewish canonical writings, and that did not disagree with the writings of the Gospels and St. Paul's letters.

It is totally possible, although unlikely, that there might be other early writings that could have been included in the Bible compilation, but weren't, because they were not presented at the Council of Nicea. However, such other writings are not necessary, since the whole Bible is written for the saving of people's souls from the great destruction and dissolution of this earth and universe... which will include the dissolution of the souls of people... and the current Bible is sufficient for such salvation.
