If God wanted to teach humanity of his nature and the meaning of life, why would he ever use a book to do it? Think about it: You're an all-powerful being who created the entire cosmos and everything in it. You are capable of creating a vast array of lifeforms, some of which, like humans, are intelligent and self-aware. And the best you can come up with to impart the most important information of life to them, is a two-thousand-year-old book of desert stories? No offense to God, but if he exists he's not very smart. 😕
