@cicerone imposter,
Thank you for thinking of me and including me in your posting of this article friend. The bible is increasingly being found to be unreliable in guiding people to "the truth"... Whether it be a round earth, Noah's ark, evolution, which gender God created first or the bible's errors concerning male and female homosexuality, and devil spirits causing illness.. the bible seems inept at answering these and many other issues. What or who is god? I prefer to hear that right from the horses mouth these days. If god is all powerful let him/her come down from heaven and if biblical truth is so important God can tell us personally and collectively.
If god does not even know the earth is round what surety do we have the issues of faith that are immeasurable by science are true? Considering that Judaism, Christianity and Islam are based upon these errant scriptures it seems that these days all that is coming out of religion are hot headed radical conservatives without a shred of love, tolerance or brotherhood.
Yes there is a fine line between good and evil, murder/killing will always be a sin except when done in self defense. The bible tells us to judge not but until God is here to do the judging we have no alternative than to judge in grace, mercy, fairness and kindness to others. The laws of the bible are set juxtapose to the liberty of the bible. With the heart, reason and science we may find truth that exceeds the radical hatreds of the past.
Is love of money the root of all evil or does love of religion share if not exceed in that root? I tend to think the devoutly religious exude much more evil than the rich.
