The bible is the word of god.. But not the bearded guy in the sky.

The Bible is, at it's least, the most important observations from the onset of human consciousness to nowish, ultra condensed into symbolic stories through a process of information competition and selection. (Factor in some human meddling)

It is an observation of "what is."

In the Bible, a description of god is "I am what I am." You might describe god as "What is."

And that is what the Bible describes.

That's partially why the Bible can be so harsh. Because it is describing.. what is.. or what happens. Not what we want to be or think should be. But what is, by way of what has been.

And so I think that the Bible very much is the word of god. It is the written testament of "what is" as observed from the onset of human consciousness to now.

..I think this is postable since the inverse was posted. And while not a wholly original thought, I don't see it promoted often in the colloquial sphere.
