Specifically with regard to the original question, suppose your god via your book commanded you to kill for whatever reason, say stoning adulteres to death, yet society didn't let you (which it doesn't). To whom do you pledge your allegiance?
I was attempting to answer you question Stimbo. I apologize if I seemed to be trying to raise a red herring (I don't know the proper way to phrase that).
My answer was simply, God wouldn't do that.
I will never have to make that decision.

You prefer the babble of a person who prefers to create a institution out of reach from reasonable intelectual debates conducted in unis by professionals, so he can give his talking points to his audience without fearing rational inquiry.
Dont you think, that that pritty much is the core problem arround which the main issue of this thread centers, only that in this specific case, it is not a irrational individual ignoring the rational inquiry of the scientific world: creating a parallel-sociaty, but a person ignoring the rational inquiry of the scientific world - intruding into the scientific world.
I simply recommended the book because he has done a vast amount of research on the topic.
You have given me more credit than I deserve in assuming how much thought I put into that recommendation.
