Reply #31: the bible is representing of christ right?

[undergroundpanther]

Doesn't the bible represent the beliefs shared by *all* christians?

Yep,and a teeny bit of arsenic in your drinking water won't kill you either... I guess.

I hear that lame this doesn't represent all christians,some christians are "good" excuse all the time...

Yet funny how these good people do NOTHING to edit out the homophobia from their bible.They do nothing to take out the bad and the evil from the bible itself they refuse to call a bad verse bad..As long as the evil in the bible is permitted to remain in it,people who believe in that god will be stained by the book and what their fellow believers do with that book.I don't care how good you think you are if you call yourself christian your morality is guided by faith in *that book* and the god that allegedly wrote it.

These"good christians" still do nothing to stop these fundies in their ranks,they just tsk tsk ,pat my head and go defend their bible, even though I have been seriously harmed by their kind.These "good ones" enabled the bad and made excuses...and they don't hear my point,nor my pain without minimizing it..no automatically they try to exonerate themselves, save face of their belief system ,and say that book is not the issue..They do this instead of being HONEST and reading the horrors it excuses and contains that their god put in it and saying yes that verse about homophobia should be edited OUT.. and people still use the bible to excuse all sorts of atrocities.. The problem is the bible,especially when you believe in it as 'sacred'.
No other book has been treated in such a hands off manner by critics.It's time to get hands on and look at the ugliness this book inspires and cut it out.

That poor guy is going through shit because his parents BELIEVE.

This is all just wrong.It's rationalizing psychological torture of a young gay man to force him to be someone else because of parents'faith' in a 2000year old text written by a primitive tribe edited by the roman empire!! This is INSANITY!


Beliefs based on old books of questionable origins that tell you how to be good and prompts you to ignore your own conscience are dangerous because they create a space of moral relativism,in a culture and the faith that trumps reason is dangerous to society.
