I remember hearing a term called Red Letter Christians, essentially only following what Christ says (aka the red words in the bible) then what is told in the many contradicting parables and such from other perspectives of the apostles. Even still, you have to wonder who wrote that bible and for what purposes it ultimately was fashioned for, do you not?
I don't take it to quite that extreme, I consider the whole of Scripture (at least the original manuscripts, I'm still undecided on the concept of Biblical Inerrancy, and yes I've been to websites like
http://www.evilbible.com and I'm not impressed, there are innumerous claims to "contradictions," and I've been able to answer most of the ones that have been thrown at me in the past, and if I have not, others have, it just takes a lot of knowledge about the original greek/hebrew wording, the culture of the time, and a fair amount of intelligence, and thus far I haven't encountered one that could not be resolved by someone who knows what they're talking about) to be the Word of God, and therefore the Word of Christ (as in Scripture, according to John 1, Christ is both symbolically and literally the Living Word.) Perhaps I should be more specific in that I believe Scripture is the only and absolute authority, as it is not capricious and cannot be swayed or tempted.
As for who wrote Scripture, approximately 30-40 different authors had a hand in it, according to most modern scholars, over several hundred years. What else is there to wonder about? If you're referring to the myriad fringe conspiracy theories, I think you've been reading a bit too much Dan Brown.
