apologies for my simplistic agnostic point of view, but what's the big deal? that some historic records from 1400 ago may not be that super accurate? anyway from big enough distance, isn't christianity just a sect* of judaism, and islam just a sect* of christianity? they share most prophets, events etc. and god should also be roughly same guy up there somewhere.

* by sect i mean forking given official doctrine at that time by claiming that all before didn't get it right but you did, god showed it to you specifically etc. just like gazillion variations of chtristianity forked from original catholicism (well, I suspect that even catholicism is now are quite a bit different religion from the original one in early AD centuries).

something tells me I just insulted half of this planet, but cannot help it - from rational point of view, what holy books contain are just some old stories, not more or less interesting then say Myths and legends of ancient greece, or Aesop's fables. now imagine somebody would base their whole life around those, feeling he is right and all others got it wrong. funny, no? no... From purely rational point of view, I fail to see any added value of religions in these times. There are many irrational - emotional aspects where they work, but I just cannot turn off my rational critical part of me that asks questions and doubts anything not provable by experiment, repeatedly. And the Ultimate truth, I mean THE truth, should be able to stand any test of logic with flying flags and should be as solid now as 1500/2000/3000 years ago.

my 2 lousy cents
