HELP, HOW DO YOU SELF-DELETE WHEN YOU SEE THAT THE DARN THING HAS BEEN POSTED TWICE?
describes many fundamentalists--as if today and historically this is what Christianity has been all about. But I guess you just don't know what is happening outside fundamentalism. I don't know any religionists who want to "stop science." You don't find them in any reputable seminary or religion department of universities or the Society for Biblical Literature, or the Jesus seminar, etc. etc. etc. The people you find repulsive are the same people who are an embarrassment to most Christians around the world, or in history. So your description of "believers" is a product of your own prejudices. Why don't or can't you all just peek at the other side of religion? Or would that spoil the game?

Actually it's treated as exactly what it is, reinterpreting and misappropriating history. |
