First of all, let it be known that I'm not generalizing anyone here. I'm just curious as to those ones who believe their scripture was literally written by or totally inspired by God, thereby making it God's word.
Mainly, this is directed toward Christians, because I have more knowledge of the Holy Bible than I do the Qur'an, or any other books. Though those from other religions are welcome to comment, as long as they elaborate. Be sure to mention which one you adhere to, though.
Along with your answer, I'd be curious to know WHY you think it is true, and why you might think it's the 'one true path'.
On an even more curious level, for those of the Christian faiths, how do you go about rationalizing such atrocities as God-condoned rape, slavery, sexism, cannibalism, murder, genocide, infanticide, the condemning of homosexuality, and animal and human sacrifice in the Bible, if you believe it is the true word of God?
