OPINIONS ON THE BIBLE
This is a HUGE topic (since you said the Bible, a collection of works that were written over a long period of time), but the idea of the Hebrew beliefs and the legal codes found in the Torah being God-given is laughable, since it's a collection of ancient myths and legal codes found throughout the Ancient Near East in older cuneiform law. Many OT scholars see the inspiration for putting the Torah into written form as being found in the 'Persian Empirial Authorization Thesis', the idea that Jews needed to have a written law to submit to the Persians in order to gain liberation from Babylon and be allowed to self-rule.
