I ask this as one who has studied the Bible (I was in Seminary) and questions the validity and motives of those who profess to it's teachings yet are vile both in word and in their deeds when it comes to others who are different. The truth of the Bible is in its message of Love but has sadly been co-opted by Fundementalists and Radicals who like those who co-opt Islam, have turned it into a book of Hate. At this point please, I would ask that only legitimate responses be offered, no selective quotes, no accusations of not understanding the book and most importantly, please do not use the King James Version as your reference given that the books' name reveals its' invalidation (it is a 'Version' not the real deal). One other point, I think the Bible is a great book, a worthy guide to living and loving, but sadly I believe it is being used to harm.
