[QUOTE="upswife75, post: 1162475, member: 43413"] I'm not condemning the bible. I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of those who would take some parts of the bible to justify their morals while ignoring other parts that don't suit their rhetoric. Using the parts like thou shalt not kill yet ignoring that god had plenty of innocent blood on his own hands. Or, using Leviticus to condemn gays, while they themselves ignore other parts of Leviticus, completely. As for knocking faith...Having faith is fine, but take the good with the bad, or don't take any of it. If your faith is bound by the words in this book, you have to take the parts you don't agree with, not just the ones that suit your needs. That is my only beef here. I would expect someone to do the exact same to me if I claimed the tenets of humanism while going around, harming people for no reason. [/QUOTE]
