If you read about how that particular book came to be, and really look at it, you'll see that none of the modern religions have anything original in them, and were obvioulsy written by people, not gods.
While I'd agree that it is arrogant to think we know it all, it is idiocy to believe that supernature (rather than nature) is responsible simply because we don't know every detail.
If your child came home and told you that he/she was told that an invisible man could see and control everything, and that we should talk to him/her/it, what would you think? What if it was a mother who just killed her children? A senile old man?
Perspective is the key. If you believe something which is quite obviously false to a distant observer, your belief doesn't make you right.

Keep jesus out of the White House. Our president can't serve two masters; he must serve either the American people or his imaginary god.
