Not to oversimplify it, but that, right there, is very simply one of the reasons I reject Religion.
Don't you think if God really exists,
and cares about having our obedience and worship,
enough to go to the trouble of leaving a literal, physical, written manual for mankind,
that He would make sure it was IMPOSSIBLE TO MISINTERPRET that book
...nevermind disagreeing over WHICH book was the actually the right one???
No. I think he wants us to study the scriptures regularly and to rely on him daily for guidance. Even if something is written explicitly, people still interpret it differently. That's one reason people are always in court debating the interpretation of our laws.
