Hi John, Thank you for the correction. I do not claim to be a religious scholar nor do I know much about the Christian faith since I have never been to church and do not have many acquaintances who profess that religion. My point was that belief systems are not relative. They stand on their own. It makes no sense to compare them. Cheers, Mark

Taken on its own terms, the way a good fundamentalist would, the Bible is NOT God's words. It's very explicitly the witness of men who thought that God was communicating with them. Most books start something very much like, "I was plowing my fields, and the word of God came to me saying, "Son of Man, go forth and tell this guy over there that he's full of crap." And you get interesting stories like with Moses or Jonah where they look up (figuratively) and go, "What? Me? NO!"
