Not sure about Hindus. Muslims believe their holy book is directly from god, as do the Mormons (via Angel Moroni). Most other xians only claim the ten commandments as directly authored by god. Which also is humorous, because most of those commandments amount to nothing. The not killing and not stealing bits are good, and honor thy father and mother is nice. The rest is ego-stroking and jealousy on the part of the deity (e.g. thou shalt have no other gods before me**).

**Which is doubly-amusing, because that implies -pretty clearly- that there are other gods, but Jehovah/Yaweh is the main dude. Might be interesting how they went from that to true monotheism (i.e. no other gods at all).
