But then we have holy books. Namely the qur'an and the bible. How come two people can read the qur'an and one turns to be a peaceful and accepting person that thinks his favorite book promotes love and another is making bombs to fulfill gods will? I man god is supposed to be all-knowing, and this was his crucial message to humanity right? Then come a monopoly manual has more clarity?
PS Plato is clearer too, made more complex then the bible.
Well, that's because the writer of the monopoly manual would have been immediately fired if he was as contradictory as the writers of the holy books. The problem is, they didn't know the first thing about story telling. They created Mary Sues by the numbers and didn't even check what the others had to say about certain issues. The absence of a lead writer is very clear in the creation of the holy books. Also they mostly fail in creating suspense. Take Noah's ark for example. There's never a moment where the reader feels like, oh, will he make it.
