Don't mind the goofs, as long as the message is a good one, eh? Don't mind the fine print of the contract, then, its the overall agreement that counts. Blockbuster movies are produced by flawed humans. Bloopers can be real funny sometimes. Besides, its entertainment. I don't think the purpose of the Bible is to entertain. It's suppose to be the word of a perfect God. Surely he can inspire no less than perfection. Moral codes and lessons are supposed to be contained therein. Is he really OK with mistakes? Why would he tolerate his word being mucked up with imperfections from us humans? Surely he can snap his fingers, correct the goofs and ensure that his untainted word is delivered. That way humans have no excuses for misunderstandings. Hell he doesn't even need humans to do any of the writing for him. After all, he carved the commandments on stone. Papyrus should be a breeze for him. Or was it animal hides? Well certainly not a challenge for him whatever it was.

Oh yes, the chosen people, the Jews. God must have really loved them to drown them all including their babies save Noah & Co. And what was Noah's fate? At 600 years old or thereabouts he was commanded to build a massive ship. Of course God could have snapped his fingers and poof! An Ark is ready to set sail. But nope, he had an old geezer do it. Not only that but Noah had to clean out all the animals stalls. Trapped on a boat for a long time in terrible weather with a bunch of confined animals and all that work.

Look at Israel today. Not exactly a popular nation with its neighbors. Pretty much surrounded by enemies. Chosen people? I am very happy to be unchosen.
