Re: Allah is the man
Not only that, but there's no consistency in any of the theist interpretations of God. I mean, as an example Truthlover's god seems to be the loving, caring, warm father/mother-figure kind of deity, whereas iano's is a mean, petty, spiteful, little-kid-pulling-wings-off-flies kind of god who tortures people for fun. If the True Believers(tm) could get their collective acts together they might have a more compelling argument.

Re: Allah is the man
If GOD does exist, then any description of Her is but a Map and not the Territory itself.
I understand that. However, the "maps" ya'll use are so different that it's like trying to use a map of El Salvador to navigate around Uzbekistan - might be a fun adventure, but you're likely to never get from Tashkent to Nukus.

Re: On selecting Maps
Agreed, which was the problem I outlined. Maybe there should be a better GPS ("God Positioning System") than, say, the Bible?
