What if God wrote the bible, instead of man doing it. I wonder if it would make more sense. Like when you buy somthing, and it comes with directions. What good are the directions if you read English, and the directions are in Chineese? With the bible, supposedly it is the owner manual for humans, and how to live life according to Gods laws. Why then is it so riddle filled? Every time God speaks in the bible, it is very direct and blunt. Yet when man got involved with writting the bible, it became a cluster of gibberish. Man cant take a simple direction without adding all kinds of interpretations to it. If God wants us to know how he expects us to live, why didnt he just write it himself? You know, remove the middle men from the editing process? (Like God would need an editor, hes God for pete's sake!) Why did he leave it to people who would only make it harder to understand?

Several theories... One, he is a sadistic who wants to see people struggle... Two, he is a sadistic who wants most people to go to hell... Three, he didn't write it because he does not exist... Four, he didn't write it; it is HUMAN STORIES passed on orrally that are BASED on REAL encounters he had with a few choice humans (of all that include a belief in God, this one is the most likely in my opinion). Five, he enjoys riddles. Six, because he exists simultaneously in the past, present, and future, his way of thinking would be viewed as retarded from our perspective, because his mind would not have linear reasoning. Hence, the message that God was trying to get accross can never be completely translated because the language of God is not restriced to the same things that our language is (time and space- "The cat sat on the mat" requires that the existence of time and space are assumed). (I would consider this one another likely possibility, along with number four)
