And the Lord formed all things both living and not. And he created them so that some 6% of the mammals were homosexual. And he created Men and Women, and also, about 4-6% homosexual exclusively, not bi, not hetero, not auto or asexual.

And all was fine, until the time came that Mankind ate the Fruit. And they started judging each other, telling each other what's right and what's wrong, flaming each other on forums and behaving as if the Lord wasn't there. And the preasuure of the majority of people doing this caused the homosexuals to hide.

And God saw this and asked 'By Jove, why are thou hiding in this closed'

And they replied 'For it is a sin, immoral and unnatural'

And God replied 'Says who?'

And again they replied the Lord 'Our brothers and sisters who much better know what you mean when You say things, oh Lord'

'Jesus Christ...'

And there was Jesus. He walked upon Eden turned by people judging other people and knowing better what's right and what's wrong into living Heck. And he told them not to judge. He told them to love each other. He blessed those who were tora-bashed, and flamed. And that God <3 all of them.

And then they judged him and nailed to a piece of wood. Which he did't find funny, since he was a carpenter and nailing things to wood was his whole life.

And since Men and Women were created silly, after killing him they started worshiping him, his piece of wood, his 12 best friends (one of whom he didn't actually know but what the Heck) and his momma.

And by worshiping they understood more judging, telling each other thay understand Him better and therefore are guided by the Spirit, and therefore understand Him better. And they started holy wars, hilarious trials and fights on the internets.

In 10 years, when everyone is talking/typing in a monosybollic, vowel-inferred bastard child of english, people will look back on this thread as a standard bearer of reasoned discourse.

Just kidding. Ms. Frisby, <3, and lot's of it.

And in the words of Marge Simpson, "sigh... here we go again."

Pleasure to help :

Religions of the Book are those, mentionned above, who are "revealed" to a prophet by either the higbie himself or one of his otherwordly associate, whatever the nature of said prophet according to that religion. It's a specific feature of those religions that said prophets "received" the teaching from otherwordly sources even when they couldn't write, like in the case of Muhammad who was an analphabet. Also they are concentrated on a semitic (using the geographic meaning) area and postulate that the world must have an origin and an end; both events due to an act of said highbie.

Unlike those, the other religions are not entirely based on scriptures, e.g Hindusim or all of the elder, polytheistics, religions. Before you throw Buddishm to my face, I will point out that it was first a philosophy which has been transformed into a religion. Many eastern and old religions, like Hinduism, also doesn't postulate a beginning and an end of the world but a cycle, Brahma's dream for Hinduism out of memory may be wrong, in which we live. Transmigration of the soul is also often a tenet in those religions, unlike the revealed one when you only have one shot.

Mellow might understand the word Jainism (e.g) but would hardly recognize it's tenets, no offence meant. Hence Ms Frisby's question can be narrowed to : which of the three Books was he refering to?.

Corrolary being : knowing why would one have to believe one of these books instead of the others would be of interest too.

I think it's a valid question.

[edit] spelling.

You base your entire reason for being on one idea, no matter how ridiculous and unlikely, and it can be impossible to give it up.

It takes a great deal of personal courage to question your own beliefs, even more to change them. Until you actually do it.
