why this method of communicating ...

[Butterfly Christie]

If there was a god out there he wouldn't use a book with just hearsay/testimony as evidence of his existence. Anyone can claim anything they wanted in a book, and they have. This being can create a universe, but he can't give us evidence beyond someone just saying so, in a book written in a time, and society where people believed in all sorts of superstitious things.

 

[Tathagata]

Through out the ages we as humans have recorded religious believes or rather words from God through “books”.

My question to all very faithful is:

Why did the all mighty chose to communicate his words through books?

Because the Buddha had no other way to communicate his philosophy than through words. He's merely a human being, not a God, so he can't "whisper into everyone's ear" to tell them the message.

Plus, his scriptures are for informational purposes only. They are not there to provide you with salvation.
