No problem...a common mistake by those who believe "God" wrote the scriptures.

I never said God wrote the scriptures. Scribes of Prophets wrotre the scriptures. Sometimes the Prophets themselves.
Its revelation in its recorded form, and it takes a revelation to understand it properly.

Awwh, but of course. And do you believe the revelation the radical Muslims get that tells them to strap bombs on and kill others is any less powerful to them as yours is to you? Which one is correct? Seems many will give their lives for their "revelations." But when they contradict, maybe that's a sign we must be careful what the real meaning is?
