History is littered with the corpses of those killed in the name of religion by people who have taken the bible literally.
The fundamental problem with religion, isn't religion itself, but with the people who claim to do things in the name of God.
More accurately, in the name of their particular God.
The perfect examples of the kind of people that need to be beaten with baseball bats are, with Christianity...the Crusaders, witch-finders etc. And more recently, Islamic extremists.
For the record. I don't have a problem with religion and it's books. They serve a purpose for those wanting a guide book to their life.
I do have a problem with those who try to force that way of life down others throats and they are always the ones pointing to the bible, tut tutting and wagging their fingers...stoning...suicide bombing...homophobes etc.
And You avoided my question...again. Do you take the bible literally?

WORD.
Good POst.
I dont think im a regular kinda christian, because I do believe in Jesus, and God and the Trinity.
but, also i think homosexuals have as much right as any other heterosexual couple to be happy and should not have any rights excluded to them.
A womans right to choose what to do to her body.
If she has an abortion or not, well thats on her, and God.(No one knows what goes on in their minds or what they go thru)
Christians don't smoke weed.( I do, LOL)
alot of the really controversial issues, I'm really LIberal about.
I dont know how to explain it.
Either way, NO one really knows if there is God or not.
I do
believe in him tho, so i guess that's the difference from a believer and non believer.
He has done so much for me and my family.
I am truly blessed.
