Well, yeah.  Clearly if God did exist and talk to people (hmm, why did he stop doing that?  Eh, whatever) then laws are based on his word.

...Although that implies he's extremely fickle or very hard to understand.

he is not. urist understands him perfectly. i believe, though, that god never talked to anybody (or in fact never existed) therefore his argument of "law came from religion cuz it came from g-d" doesn't make sense in my world where law may or may not have come from religion, but was written by men and not by supernatural beings

I believe that G-d still talks to people. He doesn't talk to people who don't pray to him I believe.

And yes, I think He/She(?) is hard to understand.

Let's toss in a real example here. How many things did Jesus write? Anything at all? Not even the biographies of his life? That's right, they were written by his followers, who were supposedly writing for God or something. Even if the Christian God is/was correct, he wouldn't have written the laws.

People ALWAYS twist things to their goals, whether that's for better or for worse.

how fucking unfair! he expect us to pick the right god from all the religions in the world, but doesn't give us a single hint, and if you fail, BAM! to hell with you.

Hoold on. You agree that none of what you read or hear about god is true, yet you believe unconditionally.

...who#s the fanatic now?  :D

Not a troll, not some basement-dwelling neckbeard, but indeed a hateful, rude little person. On the internet.
I'm actually quite nice IRL, but you people have to pay the price for that.

Now stop being distracted by the rudeness, quit your accusations of trollery, and start arguing like real men!

This thread has gone to a stupid place.

We may not be as brave as Gryffindor, as willing to get our hands dirty as Hufflepuff, or as devious as Slytherin, but there is nothing, nothing more dangerous than a little too much knowledge and a conscience that is open to debate

Assuming I'm the "Christian dude".

I didn't even imply that what I hear and read about G-d is untrue.

God dammit, this whole thing is way confusing. Can we go back to writing walls-of-text, one at a time, instead of all posting at once?

I feel so special.

No but I believe in most Jewish view of G-d.

Formless, omnipotent, omnipresent, beyond time, just and merciful, (Although often being described as jealous.)
