The bible has been translated innumerable times through multiple languages from many different texts that were combined hundreds of years after they were written. Many texts from the era were purposefully left out of what we today consider to be the bible for a variety of reasons. If the bible is the word of god, don't you think it would have been written at one time, not over the course of hundreds of years? If the old testament was the word of god, why would there be a need to create the new testament? If god is omnipotent then shouldn't he have gotten it right the first time? It makes no more sense than Mormonism or Scientology, but Christians have no hesitation in denying those supposedly sacred texts.

The Book of Mormon also claims to have first person accounts, but Christians deny the truth of that book, and that book is thousands of years more recent and hasn't been translated a bunch of times. Why not believe that is word of god? It claims to be just as the bible does.
All i ask is for religious people to hold all sacred texts to the same standard.
