@judgedread Having attended Cathloic school for many years I was floored to learn that there were more gospels besides Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and they were pretty wild.  The fact that the bible is curated by the church proves it's a human institution.  It doesn't mean we cant learn anything from it or draw some meaning from it, but it's still a very human thing, and we should take it with a grain of salt.
