What's occuring in the Bible is a few good things mixed with a lot of bad things. All good and bad equally espoused as good things. You didn't need God to sort those things out; only your own sense of morality.

I just think it's really irresponsible to claim that the "Divine Pen" model of the bible is the only way to read it. There can be truth about God in a book that God didn't write...and that's the way i see scripture. There is human error, but there is also divine truth.snip
What do you use to seperate the divine truth from the human error? Your own morality. You've got a book that equally espouses the good and the bad as good. The Bible claims that both the good and the bad are messages from God. You're using your own morality to filter out what couldn't be messages from God. You use your own sense of morality to determine what's bad and what isn't bad. You use your own morality to determine what God would want to be the absolute rule on morality. You're able to determine what's morally wrong and right on your own as demonstrated by your ability to seperate the human error and the "divine truth" found in the Bible.

Concession accepted.
