Sorry, folks, we've been ignoring the big issue. Did God, if s/he really exists, say these things for which s/he is being quoted/blamed.

As God is a God of all of us, I await a direct communication from this being which will verify said being's existence. For the past several thousand years, all we have had is reports by interested parties that God has told them to write X information to enlighten the public. Until we hear directly from this being, as individuals [which is certainly within God's capability] all statements are suspect.

At present, I am willing to accept "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" as sufficient for most rules. The remainder is covered by the rubric F-IW [Freedom is the right to say "I won't." Eric Frank Russell].

I continue to await enlightenment.
