Of course.
It/they were written hundreds/thousands of years ago when illiteracy was far higher than today, you can see how bad it is with Skull, loads of nonsense there. Dare I say if someone like him was pontificating as much as he does..........then you can see how much drivel would have been written.
Take Skull for instance! If he can write as much drivel as he does with the help of YouTube, The Daily Mail + other comics, then think as to how did all of this other apparent info get around the world in order to complete the Holy books.....where was their communication channel? They did not have the facilities to complete such books within their own life span. As such there was no doubt an enormous input by many different people, with many agendas and slants.
It is my guess ( not fact ) that there was a lot of political input on those books in order to create fear through ignorance, (Skull will know loads about ignorance ). Once governments have people in fear, then they have control.
As a matter of curiousity.......Have you ever wondered why Politics & Religion seem to go hand in hand?
if there was as much love and peace as the various Churches preach that there should be........then they should be a million miles apart!
More shi*e, well no surprise there.

However, the Qur'an was written in ancient Arabic and the Bible in Latin and what is more, they were both highly accomplished literary works. It was the masses of the time that were illiterate and probably higher then 90% of the population couldn't read. And you can imagine, the impact on the populace a book written in "God's words" would have in a medieval society.
Oh and if you had the audacity to question the "word of God" you might be burnt at the stake or crucified for blasphemy.
The simple truth is, if you are stupid enough (Cabby John) to believe that a supernatural power made any contribution to these, so called, Holy Books or that some spirit in the sky is controlling your destiny, then you are living in the dark ages.

Which probably explains why Muslims are running around Europe at this very moment, killing people in the name of a God that does not exist.
Tell me where Dawkins has it wrong?
