People are different. If you tell a person like me that all he needs to plan out his entire existence through the entirety of time...is contained in one book, because it is the absolute truth presided over by an all knowing being and creator of all...

then...

That book needs to be explicitly descriptive and unambiguous and right every time. It needs to require no interpretation or explanation if it the absolute truth that can be replied upon to govern someone's eternity. And it needs to be literal, not figurative.


There is an old adage in the business world...."The longer and more complicated the explanation of a deal becomes, the less likely that it is a good deal."
