Which word of God? Which God? There have been so many, and none of them actually said a thing. It's all smoke and mirrors. The words of the Torah, the Bible and the Quran are so contradictory and vague that anyone can use them to justify just about anything. And people do just that.
I'm tired of people claiming that the bloviations of ancient shamans are really the word of some god, if you just interpret them right. Hogwash.
