As I said, I sort of expected this to be your answer. While I was standing in line to buy my lunch, I was thinking about how God apparently makes his will known through humans, hence the bible, which was written by people.

But people make mistakes, right? And then it hit me. The beginning of Genesis.

In His own image. So if humans are flawed, and we were made in God's own image, then isn't God capable of mistakes? Doesn't he make errors? So isn't his faith in using humans to write the bible, which today, bares little resemblance to the original manuscripts, also open to mistakes?

I realize that this sort of thinking is probably what you would deem heretical, irreligious and quite possibly offensive.

But if God exists, and He made me in His image, then He intended me to be this way. With purpose, He made my mind work in a way that questions everything and takes nothing at face value.
