You know nothing about my past or how much I have studied the bible, or anything else, asshole. But, since I don't swallow it hook, line and sinker, I must not "understand" it. But, I admit. I can't understand what you call christianity. Your "hours of study" is nothing more than making up explanations that sound good to you for all the crap and inconsistencies that the bible is rife with.
All I can go on is your near constant mis-characterizations of what Christianity is and believes. Which, when pressed, are about an inch deep. These two things are consistent with a person not having read the Bible in as systematic study to understand what various authors have to contribute to the understanding of a particular doctrine or another.
No, my views are on of objective study, rather than soaked in the narrow mindedness of, "I believe this to be true, so let's find ways, no matter how ridiculous they may be, to explain the nonsense parts. Then, when it's pointed out just how ridiculous the explanations are, we'll just say that you have to read it MY way."
Any characterizations I make on christianity comes from being raised in it, as well as what other christians have said.
