No matter how well meaning and sincere any man is in his attempt to 'speak' for God, they will always be interpreting it through the human deficiency.

To say such a thing is a slap in that face of a sovereign God who is in fact very much control of all things, most of all His word in the form of the Bible. This book is the direct & true word of God for our direction and instruction. If this is not true, then that would put every word into question and would be in it's whole, a lie. God caused man to write it and He has more than enough power to preserve His word in truth for all time.

The Bible as a living Word of God, came by divine inspiration, as attested to by Apostle Peter as he writes, “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:20-12).
The Mormons and Moslems make this same claim about their books and by the way both of them accept Jesus. And just as did the "Christian" religion and the Hebrew religion they have all massacred people in the pursuance of their religion.

The biggest problem I see with most religion is how bad they make God appear to be.

Christians don't need to make the God of the Bible "appear bad". God does that all by Himself. Consider the Flood. Puppies and kittens and beautiful young virgins suffered His wrath. God ordered Joshua to kill men, women, children, and their livestock.

God even claims He killed His Own Son for the atonement of sin. And God is vengeful and will send all who reject His Son to an eternal punishment.
