If the bible is the word of god, why was it written by humans and has so many versions? The bible is as stupid as the Torah and the Quran.
The bible is the word of God, but so is a Playboy magazine or any other book that is written by humans. We are God, or at least part of God.

* prophet Jonah was really into the whale's belly for three days... and Jesus really did walked on water...
Jonah and the whale is a story which refers to the Mesopotamian town of Nineveh, where in the earliest tradition Tiamat, the earth mother, and sea goddess, swallows the sun, Marduk, at the end of his journey across the heavens. The scriptural story depicts the messenger of God, Jonah, as Marduk and the monster, Tiamat, as the whale. Jonah who therefore represents the sun is saved by God from the Babylonian monster and goes on to convert the whole city of Nineveh. Noah's Ark is similarly an adaptation of the journey of the sun around the heavens, the animals being the constellations.
There are yet other sun god figures in the Old Testament under unrelated names. Samson or Sampson whose name means solar and whose hair (rays) was cut off by Delilah is perhaps the most obvious one, being a Semitic Hercules. Solomon and Saul both derive from the same root as soul and sol, the sun in Latin. David, Abraham, Moses, Gideon, Jephtha are also among those whose actions identify them as solar representatives. In 2 Kings 23:11 is clear evidence of Jewish sun worshipping, when king Josiah, removed the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun. Also, in the OT...there is said to be coming "THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS"..Speaking of a coming Messiah.
The Book of Joshua leads us to think that he had several attributes of the sun god, and that, like Samson and Moses, he was an ancient deity reduced to human status. He is the son of Nun, the primeval Egyptian god who created everything but then receded into the waters to lift up the sun each dawn. His symbol was a fish. Horus in Egypt had been a fish from time immemorial, and when the equinox entered the sign of Pisces, Horus, was portrayed as Ichthys with the fish sign of over his head. Joshua might originally have been Horus as Iusa, it being a cult of Horus which left Egypt and found a home in the promised land of Canaan when it was part of the Egyptian kingdom, its followers being called Israelites. Israel then means "Our God is the Son of Ra!" When the equinox entered Pisces, this perhaps signified to some Jews that Joshua was the messiah.

Finally, the early priestly linguistic discoveries were brought to a halt with the agreement that five vowel sounds sufficed. Thus we got IEOUA, pronounced as Yehouah, as the name of god. This is Jehovah, the V being properly a W, pronounced as a long O sound (OO) as it is in the alternative written form Yahweh. Later, some priests seemed to settle on the magic number seven, giving seven-lettered names for God. YEHOUAH, SABAOTH, DEBORAH, DELILAH, SE(PH)IROT, SEPIRO(TH), MICHAEL and SOLOMON might reflect this phase.
^^Hey look! I really am god.....lol
