As a lapsed believer, I can tell you that one of the main things that fuelled my disbelief -- and later contempt -- of religious scripture is that this stuff never does transcend culture. If it doesn't, well, we're long overdue some updates from the big guy. Some religions claim that their scriptures reflect the direct word of God, others take a more moderate stance saying that the actual words are the words of mortal men -- they're always men, of course -- inspired by God. Either way, the only conclusion we can draw today is that God is bigoted and hateful shit bag (and quite stupid). Or, more rationally, the scriptures were written by men "of their time" and God probably doesn't exist.
