It's in The Book

Religious sects of all sizes have a holy book that they accept as
the basis for their existence. Major religions maintain a 'holy
scripture' which is believed to have been written by or
directly influenced by a god or gods in ancient times. Every
member of a particular belief is obliged to accept without
question the 'holy scripture' as real and true. Professional
corps of clerics are paid to advise followers to think and act
according to their interpretation of the directions they say
are given by the god or gods in 'The Book'.
Of the many books supposedly written by gods, according to
the faithful, there is only one true book. Which one is that?
It depends on who you're talking to.
Has a god written anything lately? Any updates? In the past
thousand years or maybe the last few hundred years? Have any
gods considered a sequel?
These are high tech days of instant communications. Why not
be up front and accessible? Maybe come out with a video?
Or a weekly tv show? An infomercial?
Hey, better yet, how about a blog?
