devil made me do it

It took a person with a certain “devilish” imagination to write many of the books of the Old and New Testaments. And it takes a certain special kind of person to leverage these earlier works for their gain in the present time.

I subscribe to the theory that the “books of Moses” were not actually written by Moses as God spoke to him, but were written much much later.

I also subscribe to the theory that the gospels were not written by personal friends of Jesus just a few years after he died, but were written much later by authors who may not even have personally met Jesus in their lives.
