And in that you're wrong. At least in my case. I never blamed religion, any religion, for the bad that has been done in it's name. I blame certain people calling themselves religious an only act on the vile parts of what is written. That there is a fundamental contradiction in all the books allowing for bad as well as good people to draw from them is out of the question for me.
Well, that's the thing isn't it??
The bible is nothing more than a tool that magnifies the intentions one has in their heart. It is no different than a Hammer. With a hammer one can build a house, or with that same hammer one can totally wreck that same house. Two totally different results, rendered by the same tool.. The bible like the hammer is netural, it only magnifies what ones heart wants.
If in your heart you seek God, the bible can be used to find Him.
If in your heart you wish to control other looking for God and or if you wish to manifest evil this netural tool will allow you to do this as well.
Why? So when you are judged, there is no doubt in your mind by your life's action, that God's judgement is indeed just.
