It's not just that someone wrote a book about God/Gods and I don't believe the contents are factual, it's that I live in a society were a lot of people do believe it's true.
Israel, the Jewish religion of old, Moses and all of that, was social and political. Here's the laws, agree with them or face the consequence, or get out. Conversion is welcome. Christianity, originally, was social in an isolated sense. The society was the congregation. So, no homosexuality, no abortion IN the congregation. Outside of that is none of their business and inside is no business of the society Christianity itself is in unless they are breaking the law. One of the tenets of early Christianity is to follow the law of whatever society they are in so long as it doesn't conflict with God's will, standard, purpose, etc.
Alright.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
