let's see here, I write a book which condemns my religion..........why would I do that???
That's the point...The bible clearly wasn't written by any one in the Catholic religion...
The standard argument goes; The bible can't condemn the Catholic religion since the Catholic religion wrote the bible and it would be stupid to do that...
But the truth is; if one can read a newspaper and understand it, the same person can read the bible...
If your religion told you that you can not uderstand the daily newspaper without their interpretation, would you believe it???
