So according to you, about a hundred works were written under the claim of godly guidance yet absolutely none of these claims of spirits telling people what to write were investigated and validated by any scrutiny even to the point of signing one's name at the bottom? Not one of these hundred or so texts had a verifiable chain of custody. Somehow anonymous author' stories in unauthenticated texts claimed to be written under completely unverifiable godly interference becomes evidence of a creator because sometimes the texts agree and because sometimes they don't agree, depending upon the theists argumentative needs at the time. The fact that the textual inclusions have been screened and edited many times by competing churches under competing ideologies has completely been dodged.
100 conversations with god lasting hours long were not observed by thousands of people but were created in secret requiring sheep to "believe" rather than "observe".
No logical rhyme or reason is given for the choices of who was picked to receive the actual spoken words of god in a time before scientific evidence was understood. Curiously, all of these book downloads from god occured long before science could record separable from the propagandic lies from WOO salesmen. Today all christians have to depend on telepathic "warm feelings" from god, they are no longer privy to actual information from their god. God has become a dumb mute.
