If you ever read the history of the bible and other ancient writings, you will learn that there use to many different 'holy' books and many different 'gospels' that circulated. It was one body of men who decided to get together and vote on which books were really holy and which ones were not. The ones that they liked and supported their current doctrines were the ones compiled into what we today know as the bible. They rest were forgotten or never heard from again. And the ones that do know of have been written and rewritten and retranslated so many times that we will never know if what we are reading is what was intended by the writer.
So, because of that I don't think the bible has any more godly inspiration than my little pinky. I do think it probably has some good lessons about how to treat others and be a good person ... if you read the right parts. But I don't humans need any book to tell us how to be a good person. I think that message has to come from within.
