What, that is your argument? That something in the "The bible" (I put quotes, because although the bible is generally the same among all religions that have it, there has been some interpretations that certain things have been corrupted, or misinterpreted and either changed or omitted) couldn't be possibly misinterpreted or rather spoken in such a different tongue that someone like you just doesn't understand it? So God works in such a way that if someone like you fails to understand the meaning or the metaphorical meaning behind something, then he must not be God because he would make it so that idiots like you would understand? Or you know God so well that some things are literal meaning? I'm trying to understand, either way though, you seem to profess your understanding for knowing this benevolent been so well yet claim he doesn't exist at the same time. Maybe you should listen to those who do believes words or understanding rather then coming up with your own understanding that you seem to obviously not get. I'm not saying what Glenzig even says is the correct meaning, I'm just trying to better understand your ignorance.

Try using paragraphs...I only read the first few lines of your wall of text but I will answer anyhow.
If God wanted to provide CLEAR instruction for how he wanted us to live then why didnt he or why couldnt he? This in itself is a clear sign that the Bible was thought up and written by humans...not an all-knowing being.
Imagine if instructions for using your ipod were so cryptic and open to interpretation.
I already know your response...blah, blah, blah...written in a different language, the writer's were channeling God, etc. That still doesnt mean God could not have provided clear instructions that would last throught the ages. Surely, a being that knows everything would know that the Bible would be misused and misinterpreted. If God is all powerful he would know a way to make it crystal clear. Either he is incompetent or uncaring for writing such a shitty book.
