However, if the book itself was more to the point there would be far less of this sort of thing. We have perfect heroes who are not perfect - look at King David, for example (and we will, eventually) and look at the actions of God in the book which is supposed to celebrate Him. Just imagine now, as a thought exercise, that you are God some 6000 years ago. You are about to embark on creating everything. You are omniscient and so you know what will happen between that point and now. Would you write the Bible as it stands today, knowing what you know today, or would you do it differently? And then realise that, allegedly, 6000 years ago God had that choice.

Hitler - Catholic primarily, then Eugencist (not Social Darwinist). Stalin - seminary educated, trained as a priest. The Inquisition - Roman Catholic. Salem Witch Trial - based on the line "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" which came from Exodus 22:18. Really, the Christian religion has a lot to answer for. And as to the diary part - if you had planned to start a movement based on your diary, then I would expect to see a well edited diary. Don't forget, when the bishops sat down to decide what stayed and what went, they decided that the Bible in it's current form is the best it could be!

It is your right to do it, and I suppose if millions didn't hold the Bible up to infallible you wouldn't be doing it. I don't believe the Bible is inffalible. However, without the Bible peole have behaved actually worse than with it. Mao (Atheist) Hitler (Social Darwinist), Stalin (Atheist) were responsible for a hundred million deaths all together. The Inquisition (2000 deaths over 250 years), Salem witch trials (20 deaths) as examples. Ann Gosh, I would hate anyone to read my diary and make the kinds of judgments being made here.

I have to admit though that there is a lot that doesn't make sense to me. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that we live in another time, one that can't comprehend the language of the day. What seems strange to us probably makes perfect sense to those who lived in the time when it was written.
