Good points Arramon. I suppose I need to correct myself.
What I personally believe is subject to self, with one exception.
The inherent accuracy of the Bible within itself, without human intervention, or intrepretation will stand the scruntty of any fair fact finding court.

But as soon as anyone introduces their own views (which is difficult for most humans not to) the whole thing crumbles, and you will have chaos such as is present today among religious minds of the world.

The Bible itself is as exact as math, means what it says, and says what it means.
This can not be said about the book of Morman, the Koran or any other religious document. It stands alone as The Word of God and is just that absolute.

But because the author God,(not the script writers, men), allows us freedom of will, we also have the freedom to believe as we want.
Or to believe nothing if we want. That causes no end of confusion to humans who impart their own morality to be the Almighty's will. Then when it doesn't happen according to some human's will they rebel, become angry, and even bitter, eventually deciding their best action is to not believe in this God, because God did not bring about this person's will.

This becomes expecially significant when dealing with the natural end of human life known as death, meaning the physical aspect.

Some loved one who doesn't seem deserving, dies, and usually horribly at that.
That's when people question the most in their human logic of how could a just and holy God allow such a wonderful loved one to die, or to die so horribly.

Again, the anwser is just as simple, but not very consoling therefore usually not accepted. Which is, it is allowed by the very same virtue which allows you to believe as you want or if you want to believe at all.
God's intervention would violate that very same freedom of will, because if he were to interviene in a person's death, then he would by the same logic have to impose his Word upon you, meaning you no longer have a choice, which in turn can't save a man from his shortcomings, or sins if you will.

We would not have minds of our own, but a mutual conscienceness, with no objective or purpose for living. In essance we might as well be robots.
But we are not robots, we have freedom of will, our minds are ours, our beliefs alone can save us or damm us. The choice is ours, which is why it is important that the choice be given.

Sometimes that choice is given more times then we would like and in some annoying ways, and sometimes the choice is even distorted to someone else's will, with aspects added and aspects deleted, and aspects changed until it is no longer what it was intended, but becomes something very different, like playing the game 'telephone'.
But even then it is still a choice, with each human making it as personal as possible. By then it has undergone many changes, and when a group of people embrace the same set of varations as their own beliefs, it becomes religion.

Religion is simply mankind watering down God's word to fit their personal opinions, but that is not how it started. Just what it has become when we introduce our personal opinions, and interpretations as God's Word and will, but it is still far better then having no choice.
