THE BIBLE
Close
The Bible consists of ancient writings,
gathered, edited and selected by religious appointees
from a range of other material, mostly since lost or destroyed.

We like to think of Biblical books as original material,
but this is seldom true. They have been sanitised;
progressively adapted to past current orthodoxy,
over centuries of copying and correction.

This is not the "Word of God", but
the words of those who would be thought to be Godly.
