God's interviews for Scholars to Write The Bible:
Candidate #1: "I'll write a good bible for the people. It'll feature scientific facts that nobody of our time will even have a clue about. It will leave absolutely NO doubt of your existence for generations and generations, and help countless number of people, saving their lives."
Candidate #2: "I'll write a good moral bible. Something that will be the moral compass, even for non-believers. Ideas that are a bit radical for the time, i admit, but it'll only serve to bolster your credibility. Things like.. treat women with respect, and not as property. Rape is abominable, and not the fault of the woman. It'll teach people not to wage wars, or let people starve to death.
Candidate #3: Forget about those guys. They're crooked. Absolutely crooked. I'm going to make the bible great again! Trust me. I tell you, I'm the best writer. My words are the best. I'm very good with the words. My 10 year old son, he's already writing. I'm telling you it's unbelievable. Now the other candidates may tell you that I'm bad with context--NOT TRUE. I'm the best with context. I make context great. I've got all the contexts. ALL of them. And we're going to make this the greatest book ever written.
God: #3, you're hired!
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
