The older I get the more I realise that all religions exploit the same loophole in communication protocols i.e. that Human language (as it evolves over time) is the most imprecise, ambiguous and plastic way of communication that exists (by design!). Now, if a single creator of the universe actually exists (unlikely!) and had used a formalized syntax with a concrete grammar to identify and communicate with us, then, I might take their particular so called "holy books" a little more seriously, but even then it wouldn't, a priori, mean that they were true! The fact is that thousands of years after their conception, in terms of veracity, most religions still have all their work still ahead of them.
