So lets just skip to the chase then. I don't think that
anyone, and that includes atheists, understands the concept of God beyond the most visceral terms. It is the acme of mans arrogance that he believes he can either define, or dismiss, with authority the existence of something with the power to create the universe.
But on the other hand a book, written by men, sometimes centuries after the events they talk about, that has been translated many times, is obviously not going to be very reliable as a history textbook, but it does and has had for centuries held a strong value as a guide to life.
Is "Treat others as you want to be treated" really that bad a concept?
