I respect the Bible as more than a human-authored book, though to be honest I find some of the stories clearly lacking what one would consider divine inspiration.
It is human authored.
If you find it more than human authored, that's because there is a selection process. Not everything human authored has been retained. Some bad parts have been dropped, though there are still plenty of them there.
I believe in a better future and that humans can and will get stronger...not weaker.
There won't be a better future unless we address climate change. There won't be a better future if we continue to elect people who believe in the nonsensical "trickle down" economics.
