So you're sitting here and calling me a moron...
But it's OK. I forgive you. Because when it comes down to it, I would hope that you would forgive me in the event that I am to arbitrarily insult your intelligence. Such are the teachings of my religion.
Have a nice day. One day, I hope you will be able to rid yourself of the bitterness in your heart.
Being blinded spiritually is not a character flaw, or anything that is wrong with someone on an innate or core level.
I am not bitter--I am fearful. Fearful for the way the world is being raped in the name of various ideologies.
Chief against these ideologies is (evangelised/protestant) Christianity, differed to frequently by the power-hungry American and NATO governments and the peon subjects to whom it trickles down (and then recirculates).
When I said this I was reacting pretty strongly to the entire Stand Up for Marriage campaign. I do not have a problem with any sect or individual who believes in social progression and who doesn't want to plunge Westernized countries into a new Dark Age.
Societal progression comes in two forms, in my opinion (maybe you can think of more): the kind where you realize all the hate that has been authored into many religions and directly oppose it, or the type where YOU believe what YOU believe, regardless of the beliefs of others, and live self-righteously.
I don't know what you are talking about.
I am a social progressive because I am a constitutionalist and such is the way I interpret the Constitution. I was once an atheist who was very well educated in the fallacies of religion but I fooled myself into thinking that I could live a life turning against such a major part of the human experience.
Religion has been corrupted by people because people are imperfect, whereas God is perfect. So of course the way religion is conducted will be imperfect and riddled with the human flaws that cause every OTHER problem on this Earth.
I love my fellow human beings and everyone is entitled to make their choices. I also love practicing my religion. The 1st Amendment guarantees me the freedom to do so just as it guarantees everyone else the freedom not to. And I believe everyone should have that freedom.
Maybe my beliefs don't fully line up to par with the church, that's cool with me. Let gays marry, and soon enough the hype will die down and everyone will realize that gays are as human as straight people when gay marriage becomes just as dirty, corrupt and meaningless as mainstream straight marriage does.
I go to church. I believe in the teachings of Jesus. He tells me to love him by loving his children. So I do so. Taking away a minority's rights isn't loving his children and by extension not showing my love for Christ. Maybe you're right and I AM a self-inflicted moron. So sue me.
I am quite confused how this works because there is not a way for me to post a comment on the original post... so you get stuck with me. To the original post: I completely understand your feelings. It is quite difficult to believe the lies being told concerning the Bible. If you look under Revelations 20:14 you will read that death and hell are the the last things to be thrown into the lake of fire. It then says, "This means the second death.. the lake of fire." It tells you that the lake of fire is not literal. How can you throw death and hell into hell? It then goes on to explain it that the lake of fire represents the 2nd death not some burning of humans for eternity. Most Christians are the spawn of evil. However there are those that realize that if we had a friend that decided to torture anything for any reason they would be considered a bit psycho and yet we give God this attribute everyday. God says that he will wipe out every tear and even the memory of things before will not be remembered. Then does it stand to reason that he would keep something as a reminder for himself of the tragedy of men? No.. you are right to not believe the lips of men, but I am afraid I disagree when it comes to the Bible, because it is not the Bible... it is the people that are reading it that are the problem.
IIN I think people who believe the Bible is the word of God are...

Well said.
