It makes perfect sense.Oh so if I want to believe a virgin can give birth and the dead can come back to life I should just accept Jesus? Are you kidding me? Please tell me you are. Don't be talking about how the Bible is 100% right on morality. Morality means something different to everyone including each individual Christian. We don't need a book telling us what is "right" and "wrong" because each human can figure that out on their own. That type of mentality causes people to not be allowed certain rights. Such as gays not being able to marry or women not being allowed to have abortions in certain US states. It's also the reason that in my state strippers can no longer give lap dances nor can they dance totally nude. Also, Christians following what the Bible supposedly says about morality have also caused us not to be able to have casinos in my state and in certain counties you cannot buy or sell alcohol within their borders. I hardly see how any of those supposed "sins" should be considered immoral because they hurt no one except people who lack personal control in some situations. In the case that a person becomes addicted to gambling or gives all of their money to a stripper then that's their own fault and I don't see how Christians should "morally" feel they should make that their business nor should they try to take their rules to the polls to try to keep the general population from "sinning". I find that one of the most annoying aspects of religion...the fact that they are willing to make us abide by their rules even if we don't want to.
