Christianity and morals

[meak]

Oh so, if it wasn't against the law, you would own slaves would you?

LOL - an appeal to emotion from self-named Rationalman. Too funny.

My history teacher used to say "You can find evidence to support any idea, no matter how stupid." She let us make crazy essays and if we could support it with even iffy sources, we'd get a good grade. Same is true of the Bible. You can choose to believe anything and find a way to cherry pick or twist words out of context from the Bible to back up your claim. That's why there are so many different versions of Christianity. When all these different interpretations just start to sound like insanity people just throw out the word "faith" like it's the answer for everything. It's there answer for everything really. Like the old saying, "If you're losing an argument, just insult the other persons grammar." With Christians it's "The answer to every question and argument is the word faith."

Hmmm...haven't seen the Christians falling back on faith in this thread.

Only because the questions are light and you can find some reference for it. Just a fun exercise: Try explaining these questions without saying the words "Gods Plan" or "Faith"...
-Why did Jesus never write anything?
-Why do bad things happen to good people who are super-religious?
-How old was Mary when she had Jesus?
-If human's were made in God's image, then does God have any of the following: nose, teeth, lungs, nipples, penis? And what would he use them for? What color is his skin?
-Do the mentally ill have free will and why did God make them that way?
-Why was not a single mention or word EVER written about Jesus by anyone who was alive at any time during Jesus' supposed life-time?
-Why does God like some people in Oklahoma and not others?

Another issue I have with many in the church is their inability to just say "I don't know." God obviously didn't explain everything but some people act like they have all the answers.
