The bible was actually written by man, about 300 years or so after the life of Jesus. Although filled with many good stories, they are simply that, fables and folklore. To be sure, all biblical texts that can be dated at all furnish important historical information. They reveal facts concerning the period in which they were written, but they do not necessarily contain literally accurate accounts of the events they report.

Moreover, most of the documents are later—sometimes by centuries—than the events they describe. A significant body of written evidence does not exist before the time of the monarchy, which was established with the anointing of Saul as the first king of Israel in the 11th century bc for example.

Most of what we read today in the bible was put together by humans. The bible and chirstianity in general was being put together as early as 325 A.D, at the Council of Nicea. Christianity before that was made up of many, many different factions with different beliefs.

One big thing they discussed and decided was on the question regarding the relationship between God the Father and jesus; i.e. are the Father and Son one in purpose only or also one in being. Back in the day there were tons of ways to be christian. You could be a Jewish Christian, a gnostic christian, a mystical christian, a gentile christian, etc.

Christianity was used by Constantine the Great most would argue, to solely unite a people and provide structure, to win a battle.

My point is that, a God may have inspired people to write great things that may or may not be in the bible, but to discount the politics and the human part in it is ignorant and irresponsible.
