I tend to agree with Khemikal's "magic book" musings. It's one thing to claim God exists. It's quite another to claim that one book (compiled more or less arbitrarily according to which theologians' views held prominence in the late Roman Empire) adequately and accurately describes the one true God. I've read TONS of religious texts. I see the Christian's texts as no different than any other. There is usually some sort of profound truth buried in them (which is how these texts attract adherents) but this is always counterbalanced my some sort of fable/myth/storytelling.

People believe in the Bible for one reason and one reason only. Tradition. They were either told to from childhood, or later became part of a religion in which participants all "agreed" that this one arbitrary text accurately describes God.

I mean Joseph "whats-his-face" (Mormon guy) had enough sense to say his shit was delivered on golden tablets.
