God and resting

[robvalue]

Indeed yes, for those of us who actually care about what the words say, there are certain things that are ridiculous to deny. Yet deny them they do. It's ironic that atheists are often more interested in what the words say than Christians.

After some conversations, I've come to the conclusion that certain Christians have replaced the entire bible with "the golden rule". They pretend this is some profound and unique idea, and explain away all the gibberish that surrounds it.

I'm quite happy to take good ideas away from books. The thing is, I only need to read it once. I don't need to keep reading the same book every day, and to worship the supposed author, in order to benefit. And if the rest of the book is shite, I don't defend it all either.
