Daystar,
You say you wish to "discuss" but all you have done so far is to write pages on your interpretation of your holy book. That isn't discussion, that is preaching. You may say you are not trying to convert us, but I don't believe a word of it. You insist your book is the truth, and by doing that you are holding it high and screaming "BELIEVE IN THIS!" (in the inter-webby form anyway). If that isn't converting I don't know what is.
For a discussion, you must present an opinion. You simply keep claiming that your book is true, and therefore anything that contradicts is either wrong, or needs to be changed so it fits with your narrow view of things. In a discussion everything must be placed on the table, including the Bible. I've always said that I *could* be wrong, but you have never admitted that perhaps your holy book is in the wrong.
