A friend of mine occasionally tries to bring me back to Jesus, but he does a rather half-arsed job at it. I explain basically what you've said; the Bible may have been divinely inspired by God, but it was written by man, and copied by man, and recopied, and translated, and retranslated, and occaionally mistranslated, and perhaps revised in some places...so I have a hard time readily accepting it as the Literal Word of God. Also, I don't see what's so bad about other similar peaceful religions. My friend tried to convince me by reminding me that Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the light," et cetera, but I just kept thinking, don't most messiahs and/or prophets say that about their respective religion?
He's praying for me. I...guess...that's ok...
But I figure, if I'm supposed to find God and define/confine It to a single religion and form of worship, it'll happen on its own, instead of following the Word Of God Dictated To Man.
