Now if everyone was born with the inherent ability to read a certain language, and the books were written in that language, we wouldn't need translators at all. Now I'm not sure what the best method would be to get his word across, unless he actually was on earth in the flesh, and you could talk to him and get it straight out of his mouth. Unfortunately we can't do that, so we have denominations upon denominations who have to choose between a dozen or so different versions of the holy book. All saying they have it right, and many saying they have a personal relationship with their deity.
Which is hard to believe. I have a personal relationship with my mother, and I don't get into discussions with my sister on how she wants us to live our lives, because she really does talk to us directly.
But instead of that, Yahweh spoke to some jews, who got around to writing stuff down about 3000 years ago, and then groups split off to make islam and christianity, and they all worship the same guy, more or less, but have conflicting views on how to do it.
UMM. CAN SOMEONE DEFINE A DEITY??
