Lots of people claim to understand books. The problem is that they seldom agree on that understanding. If this weren't the case there wouldn't be so many sects and subgroupings of the world's various faiths.

I agree completely that it would be a strange concept of God indeed to imagine that He would place requirements on us and then not make those requirements obvious to all. Combine that with the observation that humanity clearly does not and has never agreed on a common understanding of those requirements and perhaps you may wish to consider an alternative view of God as one who has no requirements. Books are pieces of paper. The only living understanding is that which dwells within each human heart. A God of Fear may be found in many books. The God of Love lives within all.
