Yes. I have undergone a rigorous study of all the major religions in any event. I doubt it would be physically possible to gain even a basic understanding of ALL of them. To many small ones.
Based on my study of the major religions and their existing texts I have found that almost anything can be justified using religion, even things that are apparantly contradictory based on the interpretation given to what was written. This is only compounded as problem with ancient religions as they tend to use dead Languages in their original forms. Languages that few people speak and even then not as a basic language. Thus everything within them is not only subject to interpretation but also translation. Double whammy. As a general rule I am undecided on the issue of is their a God. I am quite decided however in my belief that organized religions are the earliest forms of government and means of limiting citizenry to acceptable rules of behavior often in the absence of strong central authority with other backing, that have grown out of control and taken on a life of their own once other authority did arise.
I also looked up arbitrary.
ar·bi·trar·y
adj.
1. Determined by chance, whim, or impulse, and not by necessity, reason, or principle: stopped at the first motel we passed, an arbitrary choice.
2. Based on or subject to individual judgment or preference: The diet imposes overall calorie limits, but daily menus are arbitrary.
3. Established by a court or judge rather than by a specific law or statute: an arbitrary penalty.
4. Not limited by law; despotic: the arbitrary rule of a dictator.
Based on definition 2 it seems that all statements could be considered arbitrary.
PS: I wasn't making fun of you. I asked God and this voice in my head answered. And told me that it disagreed with you. I can only assume that the voice was God.
