Reply #24: There is a lot in the Bible that could be seen as ...

prophetic. think it is pretty darn cool tha tyou opened up to that particular passage. It's happened to me before, but the clarity of that one is unique.

For those that don't believe in God, (BTW, I am a Christian), the Bible CAN be a wonderful source of information and moral guidance. The big thing the Fundie's and the 'Christian' RWnuts fail to see, is that the Bible must be taken in context. They pick and choose the verses they want, and allow the rest of the lesson to wither on the vine.

If these people were serious about being, "Biblically Correct", they would have to take EVERYTHING literally. That means a return to slavery, stoning, (for a myriad of offenses), gouging out eyes, ripping out tongues, mass slaughter, dashing babies heads against the walls of a building. (Damn, sounds like neo-cons already)!

They choose what fits their agenda, and that reflects out that ALL Christians are like they are; (which is incedibly far from the truth). Instead, I find it far better, to follow what Jesus said, and at least TRY to walk the walk.

Remember, "seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened for you". We are told to look for answers, not suppose that we have all of the answers.
