bible is used to justify anything and everything.
Even hitler said he and their men were chosen by god to eliminate the jews (paraphrase)
So just don't read the bible, use logic and your own morality.

First, let me lead off with the fact that I am a Christian. And next, the answer to your question is easy. People who study the text of the Bible can use it to justify just about anything if they interpret it in that way. That is the reason we have so many Christian denominations. I am not a church or specific religion person for that very reason. I do study the Bible but I don't try to interpret every verse literally. Instead, I look for the context and the concepts that are being put forth. It can be confusing sometimes and if you don't study all of it, it even seems to be contradictory sometimes (even though it is not) Logic tells me that all denominations can not be all right or all wrong. If two people were to read a specific group of verses, you could easily get two different interpretations.
My theory is that God invented the K.I.S.S. principal (Keep It Short and Simple) Basic, easily understandable concepts to which man added the details. I don't mean that I think the men who wrote it lied or made up things. What I mean is that man took God's concepts and put it into what they believed he meant by them.

The Westboro Baptist Church is entirely based on a bet.

The Bible is a powerful thing and we are warned over and over in it to use Scripture properly for Gods will and the edification of others. Too often what happens like with that radical group is they take 1-2 verses and make it their church creed and you simply cant do that. Doctrine should be based on what you read in general from Scripture and not based on single isolated verses.

unfortunately, the bible does not say anything about protesting at the funerals of gays and soldiers. even people who lived three thousand years ago seem to have been more advanced than the members of the westboro baptist church.

don't comprehend too lots approximately John Calvin. found out it in college yet been a whilst in view that I did. All i comprehend is they are asserting they seem to be a "Baptist" church and maximum Baptist churches i've got been are in comparison to them in any respect. and what's humorous is they communicate huge and undesirable appropriate to the Bible like they comprehend it. yet i ask your self how lots of them consume pink meat..or what appropriate to the girls folk not wearing dresses?The Bible says do not positioned on clothing meant for adult men and pants are meant for adult men(nicely from what i been informed,yet i disagree because of the fact some pants are definately for women). I advise they are such hypocrites. i could discover lots of rules that they probable do not stick to.

The best thing i do is to pray before i read and ask God were to read and ask for his knowledge wisdom and understanding keep praying for that every time and watch and see what happens, what better way to stay in tune with God instead of going on your own understanding Hope this helps.The Bible does say lean not on your own understanding.Seek for the revelations from God.

Educated lawyers is an oxymoron. Same as hateful Christians like they are.

How do you know that they are lawyers? Wiki suggests that at least some of their members are inbred, but I see no listing of education or occupation.

these people need to get a life-a REAL life!
seems like they all are miserable, and since misery loves company, they flock together.
