So no one here knows what the book of Esther is about then...eh?
I do. At least I think I do.
The reason there is even a debate is because the word (or name of) "God" is not once written in the entire book. It's to my knowledge (the extent of "old testament") in which this is true. That's why there's a debate at all.

I personally accept it as Scripture, as do most churches. Not that people saying it is part of Scripture makes it so.

The traditional English translation, the King James Version, is full of it.The reason there is even a debate is because the word (or name of) "God" is not once written in the entire book. It's to my knowledge (the extent of "old testament") in which this is true. That's why there's a debate at all.
What word is that translated from?God said, "Let there be light."

The name "God" was not mentioned once in the Book of Esther. I couldn't find Yahweh, or any name of God either.

Sorry, by "book" I thought you meant the Bible.The name "God" was not mentioned once in the Book of Esther. I couldn't find Yahweh, or any name of God either.
you don't use logic to determine which religion is better to believe in in terms of truthiness if you have no logic in the first place that any of the religions claims are valid
How is this relevant? I am stating my opinion, I haven't presented any evidence because I am not trying to prove that I am right.
