[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1235286, member: 17969"] BBSAM, I am not a follower of any faith. I went to catholic school until I was thrown out at age 12 for disagreeing with the teachings. I would not allow myself to believe the stories contained in the bible as "real" as they made no sense. I would not allow myself to believe that some "being" assigned to outer space was capable of creating one planet and placing all living things here. I wouldnt allow myself to believe that some "desert drifter" talked to some burning bush and found the rules for mankind that amounted to nothing more than "common sense". What i do believe is that Religion has been the source for all hardships in this planet. All the wars, all the strife because one religion wants to dominate the world. Even today, christian missionaries are going into countries where they dont belong and trying to convert nations. When they get killed, I feel no sympathy for them. They shouldnt have been there in the first place. HITLER was a good christian and we saw how that worked out. BB, I side with you on almost every issue, but on this particular one we will disagree. I respect that you have "faith" and I apologize if I offended you with my writings. They are nothing more than my opinions. I do not intend on convincing anyone of anything, nor would I try to convince you to give up your "faith". All I am "airing" is my personal belief system, thats all. The bible is filled with horrible stories of a serious magnitude and to that extent I find the bible a farce. Fathers stoning their daughters to death for not being virgins and having to give away their goat to make up for it is something out of fantasyland. If a true believer wants to hold the bible close to their hearts as "the spoken word", then they'd better start stockpiling rocks. TOS. [/QUOTE]
