Essentially, if the bible was actually clear then you wouldn't need to fart out these interpretations into the ether like this, demanding that they're true because you say they are.Not to mention the original language the books were written in are not English and were from a radically different culture. Secondly, if authored by proxy by an inhuman mind the original authorial intent is as alien to us as a human mind is to a cat. Hell, I don't even get how Christians get to the conclusion, "If God exists, then we expect God to speak to people through ancients books." Question begging? Wishful thinking? Confirmation bias?
