My guess is that if the almighty, omniscient, omnipresent, all powerful Lord of the universe wanted me to do or believe anything in particular, He/She could tell me without going through a third party. In lieu of a personal message, 'do to others as you would have them do to you' is a fairly good general rule except for masochists.

From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
There was a comment today that either the Christians are correct or the Muslims are correct. This question creates a false dicotomy because it is unanswerable leading to endless debate set up by the question. Your comment was that maybe neither is correct helps defuse the dicotomy but does not go far enouigh. A better question to ask is, does the Jesus and/or Muhommed speak directly for God and how do the Christian and Muslim faiths reflect that.
