Good reading for Christian Homophobes

Yes a silly book, a silly book that has driven western culture and learning, inspired great art and thinkers, changed the lives of millions of people, given the west its entire basis for law and morality, still inspires people today to help the poor and downtrodden in the world, yes a very silly book it must be, obviously, because silly books can have that effect can't they....

thanks not complete accurate, it has not driven learning and most of the thinker were put down be your book and church, it stumped science for 600 years if not more, are West culture came from ancient Greece actually that was invade by the Persians and there Idea spray thought out the empire and which xian forth to reclaim Spain they found the aancient Greek scrolls and information there and that is the sauce of western culture. And if you want law and morality stear clear of the bible as it has multiple humans rights violations. and funny how the most relgious places in the world (except for america) are the poorest and worst of, there obviously no connection there then.... not. Your Silly book is a dangerous one in the wrong hands (which 99% it it).

can you name 5 thinkers "put down" by the Church? How has the bible "stumped science"? Did you know that science and learning was driven by Europe by the monasteries, look at the history of Jesuit scientists for example. Our judicial system in the west has a great deal to do with the bible, thats not just my opinion its a fact. Most religious places poorest? What about happiest places? Wealth of a country seems to create more drug addiction, crime, obesity, suicide, violence. I'd rather be in a poor country and happy that in America or UK living an empty material seeking miserable existence. That's speaking from experience, Thai people are much happier and content in general than English people, yet most are poor...but nearly everyone has Buddhist beliefs, ever heard of Bhutan?
