drich- i actually respect your approach to christianity. its very uhh how do i put this,"direct"??. maybe thats sounds wierd but whatever. you havent changed religion to fit your world view, youve changed your world view to make religion work with it. dont meet too many of your type.
BUT here in lies the problem
using the bible/gods word as an infallible standand of morality is completey fucked. you have a mind please use it. you know that killing is wrong most of the time, that shit is self evident like CoH is saying. but your god has supposedly killed off entire cities. thats a huge contradiction(insert starburst ad here). youve discussed slavery allready and came to the conclusion that its an anaology used to understand your faith more. but in reality slavery is not moral, the things slavery have accomplished is not a valid arguement. the bible supports slavery, but this is not moral, its really self evident. basically mans morality changes as it advances, gods does not and this holds back humanity on a shit ton of levels.
