Exactly.
It's an option, not an instruction manual.
People are free to believe in whatever they choose to, but as soon as you step over that line and impose your view on anyone else and demand it is the only way, the only truth, then you veer towards much darker territory.
Fundamentalism allows for no voice of reason, no voice of contrary opinion and total aqquiesence to the official line.
Which ain't Christianity folks.
That's something else entirely.

Slave, I think that you may find that Genesis is not hailed as factual script but as a story to explain in simple terms how god created the easrth, as you may also have noticed from your in depth study, this is pointed out by the fact that everyone lived until they were roughly 800, in those days!!
It has to be a hoax.
Akhams Razor - the simplest solution is usually the right one.
Evolution - as proved by scientists, archaeologists, etc
god - a book about a miracle man and the entire earth population generated from initial incest.
have you seen those americans that get teenage girls to believe in the "worship me cos i am great" religion? thats almost as funny.

I still refuse to believe in a single way of living, and only allow the Bible to show itself as a guide, not a way of living. There are lessons to be learnt in it, but it's better to learn them yourselves, than to get carried away by brainwashing of your own mental abilities.
I'm interested in Paganism, the apparent religion that Christianity sprung from... I was reading a book about it, the simularities are astounding. The image of Christ, the fish symbol...
Why do I say all this?
Because I have a choice, and every single person is equal to have their own opinion. I'm not trying to affect anyone elses, and neither should anyone else. Including God.

See, I wasn't mocking The Game's faith or claiming his beliefs were unfounded.
He believes in Christ as his saviour, I respect that and will defend his right for his beliefs.
However, when someone offers their belief as the absolute and only way: ie stating that something is evil, and someone is a satanist , then I take umbrage to that.
It wasn't an attack of The Game for his beliefs, but it was an attack on The Game for that specific area of his argument, offered as it was without any factual evidence.
But, and I will stand by this because it is an absolute statement of truth:
When someone boasts of burning books, then you must call it what it is:
Fascism.
The central tenement of Christianity is of love, understanding and forgiveness.
At no point, in no place whatsoever does it condone book burning.
That is far more evil that any child's book, because it is taking direct anti-intellectual action against someone's freedom to read what they want and form their own opinion.
Preventing someone from discovering facts and information for themselves through burning books and a refusal to allow someone to read that material is the act of Dictatorship, not compassion and love.
That was my point, not mocking him for believing in Jesus.

But if it was a hoax, then there wouldn't be a second coming. You do confuse me!!
Well, i guess I'm not the second coming then. thats a shame.
Poo.
Poo.
I can but i'd be lying!!
