Technically, the Bible -is- genuine... but that doesn't mean what is in 
it, is accurate to any extent. It is a book, penned by man, with rules 
that, generally, would lead everyone to live a happier life, if not for 
all the religion behind it, and the limitations religions brings with it.

But, the bible was only created as a collection of scrolls made over 
some 600 years, from before Christ to long after, portraying views, some 
of which are rather inspired, that would seem to be a cross between 
history, fiction and social psychology.

I highly doubt the ones who originally penned the scrolls which make up 
the bible, and the scrolls which didn't make it, intended for it to 
become a religion, but rather for it to just be an insight to some 
important times in history, embroidered to make it worth reading, for 
those who actually COULD read.

The concept of recording important events, so they're not forgotten to 
the sands of time, is nothing new. All it takes, is for some people to 
put it together and combine the Ten Commandments with them, to 
supposedly turn it into the Word of God.

Think about this one: Is every word in the Bible, meant to be the Word 
of God? Everything that was penned, over hundreds of years, about any 
number of topics? There is very few mentions to the direct intention or 
word of God, throughout the Bible, outside the authoring of the 
Commandments.
