A hand book for how to get away with being an asshole. "God said it's ok so it must beeeee!"
I've said it before on other threads;
I think it's pitiful that people believe that a god would communicate to them through a compilation of book that should be left to the interpretation of others. It lacks consistency and perfection, two things that one should very well expect from a fucking 'perfect' god.
Exactly.
Sadly, it is a book that preaches division and hatred. Man created a god that he could use as a scapegoat for alienating people that don't think like him.
We shall call it...religion.
Part of why I left Christianity was because I found myself not only questioning the logic of the Bible, but also its "moral lessons." I'm accepting of all people until you do something to prove to me that I can't trust you. The Bible teaches to alienate people based on a set of criteria, and it's just flat out wrong.
I wish religion would be wiped out. :/
