Some folks believe that God actually speaks to us through the words of the Bible.
Other folks believe that God gave us wisdom and the responsibility to actively enforce and change morality and human behavior through our conscience. (abolition of slavery being one such example.)
I don't hear God audibly speaking to me. (do you?)
Do I base my perceived relationship with God on belief in a SOURCE (The book and the church) or on the CONTENT (My conscience and my inner knowledge of right versus wrong?)
