Lol the bible is as accurate as narnia. If you believe in the bible you have to believe in narnia?

Basically, many people are pathetic idiotic(but not all) sheep that need leading. Look at republican party voters.
My favourite quotes from a voters:
'I'll vote bush because he's a Christian, but I don't know what his policies are.'
'I won't vote Obama because I don't beleive he's a christian'
Slight tangent I know.
Thats why I don't plan on voting.
Please do vote, and make it Obama. As the only superpower on the planet, the last thing we need ( as a civilisation) is the likes of Palin and Huckabee and their creationism beliefs, or mitt Romney and his crazy cult attempting to send us into another dark age.
Yours sincerely

Christians, they tend to make up their own version of Christianity. Some take the bible literately, some don't. Some say atheists won't go to hell, some others say they will. Some say god didn't create the universe, some say god did. All these conflicting beliefs exist within Christians. So there begs the question...which version of Christianity is correct?
So yes, everyone of a religious faith make up their own kind of religion, their own personal god that happens to agree with them. They can't bring themselves to believe in a god that could send them to hell. That would defeat the whole point of believing in something in order to feel special and secure.
It is a delusion. Just leave'em to believe in whatever they wish. After all, beliefs don't matter. Facts do.
Beliefs do sometimes matter. Look at George Bush.
'we have a calling from above'
Shame he didn't hear it correctly, it said 'fuck you george'
