yet, when those same people use verses to glorify the opposite of what I said, they consider themselves the Biblical authority? Why are my interpretations so wrong, and why our Jerry Fallwell's and Ted Haggard's so right? I've studied the Bible a lot, I just don't make money doing it...
Face it Christians...Jesus is love...not hate, intolerance and fear-mongering. Oh wait, he did get angry once...but it was directed to those in the Temple...think about it. Start acting right, he holds you to a higher standard...now, go and be a LIGHT unto the world.

Actually AC, ironically, I often find myself siding w/ the Athiests more on this site than the Christians...a lot of times they have more of an understanding than the Christians do, I wonder why that is? Hmmm..

More of an understanding of biblical principles, that is.

forget the magic book. go with logic, and leave those fools in the dust if you must. it doesnt matter what you are trying to prove; using the bible as "evidence" of anything is a shaky premise.

I don't know what you are referring to, but I would note that there is a correlation between the words "ignorant" and "ignore". Are you picking the verses you like to the exclusion of others that temper or qualify the verses you are citing?
God is Love. That doesn't mean everybody goes to heaven. We must rightly divide the truth.
You can choose life, or you can choose death - but you are the one who will face the consequences of the wrong choice.

They do it because they like being judgmental. It gives them a feeling of superiority to condemn other people. It's a way of building themselves up. Just feel sorry for them. Just think of what that says about their personal character. It's not that they hate you; they just hate anyone who is different from them.
Now, some things are wrong. But something is only wrong, or a sin, if it causes harm to another person. And God celebrates diversity among us.

interior the evaluate, freedom of determination of what to do with one's own physique, and to make own, inner maximum scientific judgements, in my opinion has *very* little to do with gun rights or freedom of religion. That being reported... a million. i'm no longer against all weapons. in charge hunters are great. people who elect to have a gun interior the abode (nonetheless i does no longer) certainly have a appropriate to that. I in simple terms fail to work out the will of possessing attack weapons for self-protection or the different reason. they're fairly offensive weapons--in greater strategies than one. 2. Obama on no account reported "American is now no longer a Christian usa." it is great to declare a prayer in school, it in simple terms can not be led via a instructor (i.e. college-subsidized). Separation of church and state isn't actually interior the form, however the belief has been interpreted as perfect in hundreds of ideally suited court docket judgements; a lot of which got here from very conservative courts. it is not in basic terms a "liberal" project. Obama reported we at the instant are not to any extent further "in simple terms" a Christian usa, yet a rustic of many different faiths as nicely. The Cons drop "in simple terms," which of course differences the whole which ability. Obama's certainly quote: Given the increasing variety of united statesa.'s inhabitants, the hazards of sectarianism have on no account been greater suitable. in spite of we as quickly as have been, we at the instant are not to any extent further a Christian usa – a minimum of, no longer in basic terms. we are additionally a Jewish usa, a Muslim usa, a Buddhist usa, and a Hindu usa, and a rustic of nonbelievers.

Thank you for speaking up. I just wish there were more christians like you who actually understood what your jesus said, rather than totally ignored it and used the OT to justify their own hatred and intolerance. If I believed in a god I would ask them to bless you.

The get mad because it shows that the Bible does indeed contradict itself, and that anyone can find something in the Bible to support any position!

You can use the bible to defend those kinds of things! Put it also depends on what your defending, What freedom of choice do you mean? What kind of tolerance do you mean?
