It's written by men and rewritten by men and rewritten again and again. If there was every any inspiration on some higher level it was lost long ago.
It doesn't matter whether or not it's fiction, thus the Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings analogy. I'm trying to establish what the Bible says, not whether or not it's fiction.
And the point about it being rewritten is wrong. If you go back at least a thousand years it has pretty much stayed the same, with remarkably little and insignificant textual errors. That isn't just atheistic propaganda, it's supported by manuscripts we have during that time.
On the point of inspiration, you are correct. The translations are not inspired, their writing from long ago is allegedly divinely inspired.
