They’re the ones like this nutcase. The Bible knows it too. It often states that the sheep of this age are in desperate need of a shepherd. And it tells us to let Jesus be our shepherd.

I use this logic. If god came down and spoke to me and sat me through his book and told me about hell. I (just like everyone else) would never have the balls to put my own opinions in there. Never ever ever ever, if god is real I’m not going to hell for a point of view. And also god "speaks" to all of the most fanatic members of all religions. Wait I thought only Mormons go to heaven. How could you believe in people. I mean everyone should have personal polygraph tests around their necks. I don’t know about you but I’ve been lied to a hell of a lot. Not to mention by people lying to be recognized and validated. If you don’t understand my point. Stuff u. You cannot believe that god recited an entire book to a couple of people.

After all, anyone can pick and choose the parts that are in accordance with their own way of thinking... For any one who says "God is love" and "love your brother", there's someone who says "homosexuals are an an abomination" and "women are inferior to men." Both of those are fully supported by the Bible... Tony: but then, how are people supposed to know which parts are really from God, and which are just the bigotry of the writers?

For any one who says “God is love” and “love your brother”, there’s someone who says “homosexuals are an an abomination” and “women are inferior to men.” Both of those are fully supported by the Bible…

I'm not saying that's rational, but neither are all people. Either way, there's no way to prove either one.

So the bible, (I’ve said this before) is something written by individuals. You just made my argument. The thing about the bible is that God never took the time to grab a pencil.

So the bible, (I've said this before) is something written by individuals. Many different individuals, with many different views such as “I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.” So instead of people taking cues from God, they're listening to other people. People with 2000 year old mindsets. This is where problems begin. The people of this or that religion begin doing horrible things to other people because someone said it was the "WORD OF GOD" way before Gods lawyers could say "no comment". Obviousely there's nothing wrong with picking and choosing, leaving out such horrid things is probably the best thing to do.

Now lets not forgett people, there are witches out there and yes although they are pleasent. We just have to burn them. Im not going to go into anything due to it being 7 in the morning here. Tool : My god needs like I do, We both want to rape you.... This is a tiny example of what I despise most about religion.
