If any Christian finds my question comically condescending, well, how does it feel to have the tables turned?
"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other".
You cannot serve both the Bible and the World. Because no matter how many (supposed) love is in the bible theres gonna be a point were religious people are gonna have to choose to either reject what's written on it or don't.
