"Yeah.... but God wrote the Ten Commandments. It even says so in the Bible. And he had to do it twice, because we are such idiots."

So who's the bigger implied idiot? Your god apparently knows how bad mankind was in keeping god-delivered, hard-copy "commandments", personally god-penned, and yet, it continues along to arrange the circumstances in such a way that to believe in your god, you first need to believe in men who are the only source for you about your god. Your god could easily have used the wireless telecommunication system that it used with the "prophets", with all of the rest of humanity, invalidating the need for you to rely on second, third, nay n-teenth hand testimonies, but doesn't. So, here you are, today, with your faith in your god totally subservient to your belief in the words of men. Funny, isn't it?

Uh... not even a close race there. And it's not implied, it's written down in the Bible.

God says, (paraphrasing) man is a complete idiot (continuously evil may have been his exact words).

Well, I think you may have misunderstood what I was trying to communicate.

Each of us is allowed to have our own understanding with God. Each of us is allowed to have our own understanding of the Bible.

If you want BOOK, one VERSION, ONE UNIFORM RELIGION, go join the Muslims(not directed at you).

I think GOD finds it much more important that we behave like Christians than we argue about who is a Christian.

If your 'understanding' of the Bible gives you FAITH, then it is the correct understanding. BUT... that is your understanding, and nobody elses. It is unique. The bond with God is unique. You get out of it, what you put into it.
