Re: the sacred texts
If one is to "judge" every Western religion according to the content of their "involiable" scriptures, there is plenty of material to be had by everyone.
​
Contrast this with the Tao by Lao Tse, the central book of Taoism. My copy is 78 pages long, easily read in a few hours, please show me where it preaches violence.
​
Maybe the cult of violence is endemic to all Western religion. A far cry from my understanding of GOD.

Re: the sacred texts
Well, everybody's made-up God tends to be a sort of granddaddy rather than the real God we all hate because He's holy and we aren't.
​
Maybe I am taking what you just posted as wrong, but to me you are implying the only way to GOD is through your understanding of GOD, I was wondering if a person like me could understand GOD without going through you.
