They say all writing comes only by the grace of God. Dijksterhuis and colleagues put this to the test through an experimental paradigm which combines personal and computer authorship (not far off undergrad essay writing really).
They conclude that "authorship feelings can be affected by priming subjects with a supernatural agent (i.e., God).. and feelings of authorship decrease when participants are primed with God, but only among believers."
