Those who believe in the bible and it's teachings are taught that the bible is God's word. Most of them would also consider an insult to the bible a direct insult to God. They normally don't blow anything up when that happens though. They might get annoyed, they might get offended, but that is usually the extent of it.
Did men put the Bible on paper? Yep.
Did God dictate his word to man in some form of spiritual communication? I believe the answer is yes.
Many books in the new testament are letters from Apostles. While they were guided by God I think it would be safe to say they were doing the writing, the amount of influence is debatable. Was God guiding their hands or putting words in their mouths? In a way, yes. They were repeating God's word and spreading God's teachings through Jesus, if you believe.
