Or imagining that book is already free of contradiction (when they've only half finished the editing job).That's weird, I don't remember suggesting that the Gospels were written by the same dude. However, the Torah was most likely written up by a unified group, and is entirely made up of Jewish laws. The same cannot be said for the rest of the Bible. Clearly the Torah writers weren't around to give the Psalms writers the memo that all they had to do was write more rules.
Why does this even matter? It remains that the Bible was written by independent individuals with different opinions belonging to two different belief systems. I agree with and identify with the latter of the two.
