You don't get to be religious when convenient either, so what's with the reference to burning in Hell? > > Otherwise, it's just using religion as an post hoc justification for > whatever you feel like. > > It is high time to start tearing off the cover of hypocrisy from religion. > > Either adhere to *all* your beliefs, including the ones that make life > difficult, or take your sanctimony and stuff it. > Now, now. Calm down. Who are you to tell me (or Christian) to adhere to all my beliefs (or his) when by what I've read in this thread you have a misunderstanding of what those beliefs are? (Sorry if that sounded harsh, but it caught me in such a way as to make me so.) In fact, in following this thread, I've seen many posts by many people that do not have an understanding of Christian teachings. It makes me wonder how many have any understanding of Islam, Judaism, or any other religions that are not practice by those talking about them. This points to one cause of religious and other conflicts - they often arise from a complete misunderstanding of the other side. In every belief system, there are fringes on both ends of the norm (think politics with the left, moderate, right, center, etc.) Most of what I've seen discussed in this thread regarding Christianity, God, The Bible, etc. are results of views of the fringes of the basic religion(s).
