So you admit that some of the crap in the Babble is "embellished". Why would that be if the Babble is the inspired word of "God"? Wouldn't the words of this deity been recorded as he spoke them? And if you admit some things are embellished, how are we to know what was embellished and to what degree? This means the entire book must be called into question! It also throw a monkey wrench into the beliefs of the brain addled who think every word of the Babble is true.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
