God is not defined by the political and social leanings of those who follow him, nor the books attributed to him.

The problem is that God and the bible are being equated here. It's a misleading question.

WEll. considering the last post this person made on the subject which didn't get promoted, you're quite mistaken. Also, read the title. It doesn't say "Bible of Death or Bible of Love," does it?
It's very easy to trust books for what they are. The bible is a religious and political document developed more or less specifically by and for a very religious and political group of people, namely Jews of various persuasions. Considering the current political and religious attitudes of some, it's clear this is a cultural issue that hasn't been resolved. It's not peculiar to Jews only, of course, any group with such strang historical ties has similar problems of destructive nationalism. It's just the way it is. But, you have to recognize books for what they are. Other books are similar in theme. They are justifications for the attitudes of people. They are not verbatim divine breath, nor can they legitimately be defended as such.

I don't think you meant to respond to me. None of those were my arguments.
