I didn't think I've heard anyone say that the Bible wasn't written by men. As to the motive, the Bible clearly states what one is supposed to do, without mentioning that conveying this information is its intended purpose.
I'm itching to lay into the many exploits of Abraham, but since this is pretty civil, I'll just say that there are a lot of things in the Bible that I wouldn't expect God to condone (even if he recants it later). This reinforces for me personally that the Old and New Testaments are written by misguided, power hungry men.
