Here's a question for the religious that may border on controversial. Please don't take as anti God. I'm pro God. I'm a great admirer of his work and I've been searching for him my entire life.
Is one holy text, given as the revealed word of God to a handful of men of limited understanding, enough?
Given the sheer awesomeness of our physical universe, and the machinations he devised to control a quarter spin of a quark, to the revolution of a galactic arm around a super massive black hole center, and that the combined minds of every one of the creatures created in his likeness, mind and body, can never answer a single question about the secret engine he created, without 10 new questions popping up to replace the first, could an entire volume of books that reach from here to the sun ever suffice?
I guess the sum and substance of my question is: why must it start and end with one holy book? Why can't it start there and stretch to infinity?

Let me show you a hundred women, all dressed in different clothes, all speaking beautiful words, all willing to give you pleasure.. be your wife.. tend to your children.. respect your parents.. and be your friend.
But one of them is willing to do all of the above AND die for you.
You can have 99 of the women today if you’d like..or just that one. Which would you prefer?
CS Lewis was asked what’s the difference between Christianity and all the other religions of the world. He replied with just one word. Grace.
