Recovering from religion, who am I and who is God: PART TWO

Did God inspire the Bible's writers? You cannot prove it by me.
Yes, the Bible was written by God-fearing men, but you can't convince me they were inspired by God, no more than I am convinced that all these God-fearing people these days who say "God talked to me," or, "I talked to God," or "God wants me to do this," or, "wants me to go here or there." That's not God talking to them. They may hear a voice in their head, but it's their own voice crying out their desires. And when they do what God told them, and fail, it's "I must have misunderstood God's instructions," or "He wants me to do something else." I pity these poor souls and I realize they are only trying to do good, and that's good. Let's not put it on God. If there is a God out there, He has more important things to do; like creating more galaxies and other worlds on which to place more of His creations. I do believe there are other worlds with sentient life on them. If there is a God who created the universe, I do not believe He did it for our amusement.
I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about people believing God spoke or guided them. If I were to say, "God inspired me to write this article," I would be committed to the local nut ward before the sun sets.
And then, the Bible was edited and reedited, and even new ones were written to satisfy new religions, how many times, all by men, who may have been scholars and theologians but, assuming there is a God, who gave them the authority to select and edit God's words? Did God get it wrong the first time?
Did God speak to them and guide them along the way? Some even edited their own works. Some started their works and others finished it. Is that like starting a series such as Star Trek? Others continued it, or rewrote it. I guess God spoke to them too. It's no wonder this world is in the shape it's in; one religion slaughtering another, whole nations trying to wipe out another. And what erks me is people praying for its side to be victorious. If this is what God wants, He has to be an evil God.
Don't get me wrong, the Bible is a good guide to live your life by, even though it's riddled with many contradictions, atrocities, fables and fairy tales; it's only a guide, a great collection of short stories for children, undoubtedly a best seller. There's going to be a lot of disappointed believers when they wake up dead floating around in space in a cloud of tiny dust particles. That's a guess, not a belief.
