Yeah well, "the actual word of God" or not, once again I'll say, KEEP RELIGION SEPARATE FROM THE SECULAR WORLD OF CONSTITUTIONAL LAW is all I'll ever ask!
And THAT means practice your OWN personal version of your OWN "chosen" religion if you want, but do NOT force your own religious tenants by use of secular law upon those who do not share your religious beliefs.
Although of course, the vast majority of "religious people" on this planet don't "chose" their religion, as they'll usually stay with the religion they were indoctrinated into in their childhood, and because of variously applied cultural and social pressures to continue "believing" as they were indoctrinated as a child.
And sooooo, you guys can argue ALL you want about the "facts" and/or the "myths" of Christianity or any OTHER religion, BUT what I said in my FIRST paragraph above would be, AND has been since the age of about 25 and when I decided I was agnostic, MY main concern when it comes to the topic of "Religion".
(...and because frankly, I see "religion" all to often doing to mankind in this day and age as contributing to the continuance of this species of ours in a tribal and combative state, and ESPECIALLY whenever it's mixed with politics!!!)
