The proof that Bible has no truth is that it has never been historically proved (just like "Lord Of The Rings" saga) and "divisions among men" come from contradictions inside it.

He obviously didn't because honest people that analyze the Bible and try to live by it can't agree, just like they can't agree on myriad of other things.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
