God did not write the Bible. No religious scriptures were written by any divinity. They were all written by men and through the filter of their own cultures and beliefs.
A religion is "true" because its followers say it is. That does not make it true.
Do you think one religion is as good as another? Which one or ones are the best and why
Certainly, some religions are worse than others. The Aztec religion required thousands of human sacrifices, forcing the Aztecs to go to war to acquire captives, and making enemies out of every other tribe in the valley of Mexico. I would say that'a not very polite religion. As which ones are the best, I can't answer that, except to say that if it respects the integrity of other people, its ok by me.
Could you show me where that point was raised in this thread and the post you were responding to with that one?
I don't think Christians say that God Himself physically wrote the Bible. Not sure where you read anyone saying Christians make that claim you are asserting, that's not what they teach.
It sounds like you are just trying to make a case that Biblical Christianity is bad and whatever religion you approve of is good. That's okay, but just be upfront from the beginning.
I understand that you do not think God wrote the Bible.
Christians have never claimed that God literally wrote the Bible using His own pen. Christians believe that men wrote the scriptures as they were moved to do so by the Holy Spirit of God.
I suspect why you chose to ignore the point you were responding to. The point was that your claim was wrong regarding Christian doctrine and Christians believe the Bible which does not support your position. So in order to critique Biblical Christianity you need to find out what the Bible says; the point had nothing to do with authorship, although that could be a separate issue.)
You quoted this: Most Christians disagree...the Bible certainly doesn't teach that.
That post you quoted, addressed to you, was correcting you about what Christians believe based upon the Book they use, (not what you think they should believe or what book you think they should or should not use). Christianity is based upon the Bible, so if you make a claim about the nature of God, of truth, of good, of evil, the Bible should be considered.(Again, authorship is another discussion and was not the point of the post; you ignored the point of the post, 'what Christians believe and what source they use for doctrine' and instead jumped to the separate issue of authorship.)
So in summary, while you had been championing moral objections to Christian doctrine, when corrected that Christians do not believe what you claim, you dropped your moral objection (without admitting it) and instead jumped to the different issue of authorship.
If you are going to attempt to critique Christian doctrine, you first need to understand what the book they use for doctrine says about the doctrine you are attempting to critique.
