-Why shouldn't I read it just because I maintain there is no God?
You should read what you want, just don't expect to get anything more out of it then you put in.
-How are you deciding what is an errant load and what is commanded by God?
Logic, common sense, contextual reading, comparitive studies
-If you really believe that, then why are you not denouncing Jesus as the messiah?
I'm not Jewish
-Would a Jew not agree?
I'm not Jewish
-If you were supreme president of the world and were against slavery and labeled it wrong, would you allow your words to be "mis-translated" to show no condemnation of slavery, just how to treat the ones you owned, and spread around the globe without ever raising an eyebrow?
No
-would you take steps to ensure your true meaning was disseminated?
yes
-How about if your subjects very lives were dependant upon them understanding what you want of them?
yes
-Or would you just sit back on your laurels and say "Boy those writers and translators really fucked that all up. Ehhh screw it, if people want to know if I really meant that they better seek out someone from a small sect of people who have copies of the originals ('cause I let the originals get destroyed even though I had the power to preserve them). If they cannot or will not do that then fuk 'em, let 'em burn for an eternity."?
no
-What to take another shot at it?
not today
-Where is this explaination from Jesus you speak of?
The New Testament
-Where is this direct phone line you say God gave us?
The Holy Spirit
-Are you saying the Jews are the phone line?
No
-Why haven't you answered my questions?
They're tedious and a recap apparently didn't do
-Why are you dodging them in favor of merely accusing me of being in attack mode?
the accusation still stands
and I'm not dodging
-Where is this evidence you speak of?
If you would accept just evidence ther'e plenty throughout my posts, perhaps you should rephrase the question so you can get what answer it is you really want

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
