Especially if the use of a historical text serves as a basis for the villification of an entire group of people because of who they choose to love.

However, there are a lot more written books than are included in today's bible, and decisions were made, by men, on which to include, and which to toss aside. A divine book can't have mistakes. That would make it human. That's true, yes men decided what is canon. God didn't literally write the words with his hands, we know men did the writing. The belief is they were inspired by God, instead of doing everything himself, he partners with humans who are prone to error and sin. Which is seen not just in copying manuscripts and forgetting punctation or spelling a word wrong, but how we live out our faith in actions too.

So creating the sun and moon is no problemo, but write a book? You mean like Stephen King? just how powerful you think he is?

Yeah, and every time I've been caught with a prostitute it's because I accidentally mistook her for a backgammon tutor I was looking for in downtown Camden at 1 a.m.

Nope. They were not going to burn her, but when they put her back in prison, she wasn't into being raped again, so she wore pants again, and they burnt her. Burnt what was left, and then had to burn what was left a third time.
