None?

I'm sure that since you said "All" religions do, you'll be able to tell me what the religions are called and what the 'inspired books' are right?

Uh... no. I concede that 'all' was the wrong word to use. How about 'many'? Will that work for you?

Oh, before you get started, just remember that unlike the Bible, the Qu'ran is a single book, believed by Muslims to have been written in heaven and transcribed - not inspirationally written - by Muhammad.

What's the difference? The point is the same. They believe their holy book to be a product of their god, which was my point. Funny how many religions have holy books which they claim to be a product of their god. Are they all wrong and the Christian god is the only true god? If that is the case, then it looks like a few billion people have been practicing the wrong religion all this time, and all the people in the past (except Christians) practicing even older religions were doing the same. I guess my problem is that I don't see how the Christian god is any better than the other religions' god. Could it be that religion is just something that we made up to make us feel better about ourselves? After all, religion has been around for as long as history has been around to record it. Why should Christianity be the one religion that is any better than the other thousand religions out there?
