@ Strongbad- I think the version you quoted added "...Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?..." That's not in my KJV. It's a simple reference to the Corinthians that had converted from paganism and separation from the old paganism rituals and friends. I'd teach that as a simple don't put yourself in a bad situation and don't assume unbelievers are wicked, simply for their unbelief. Separating yourself from things that are harmful to you is an important survival tool, I'll make sure they feel less threatened by what they don't understand.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
