Jeez man. Idk... I think if people want to follow a GOOD message, regardless of whether or not the stories behind it are flawed, why get in their way?
ThisIsNate- I'll tell you exactly why we should keep people from following this "good message." If the Pope tells people to respect their fellow man and they do then that is wonderful, especially if it works. The problem is- what happens when he and other religious leaders preach against the use of condoms in AIDS ridden Africa. It can have an even more devastating effect than if a secular person preaches the exact same thing because his word is supposed to be that of God and not held to the scrutiny of fellow men. This tremendous flaw in the doctrines of Christianity and other cults is the number one reason why any ethical person should reject religion as an answer to the moral dilemmas of our age.
He didn't die for my sins! If he did he'd be dying over and over again, daily!
Robby- I think it's important to be able to distinguish the message of the preachers from the message of the faith. Religious doctrine does not say "do not preach proper contraceptive use or you will be smited" :P That's the dipshit preachers. I hold firm in my belief that the messages of the faith are all good. The messages of those who claim to propagate the faith, not so good. (note- I may have misused some words in an attempt to sound smart. My apologies.)
^ Apology accepted. It all sounds crap to me.
Some choices you allow, Yes, and no I wanna believe lies? Talk about a loaded question. You obviously do not know what you are talking about. You are correct in your understanding of it doesn't make any sense. And on that, I say you're understanding is incorrect concerning God and his purpose behind the crucifixion. You will never come to the realization because of your inherent bias toward the whole truth about God. Put aside your dogma and open your mind to other interpretations and perhaps some real enlightenment can come in and have a place to dwell.
which sins?
hey brit! go fuck yaself! XOX?
This poll sucks.
The majority of people don't interpret the Bible literally. Mythological, symbolic, and personal interpretations are not things which can be disproven.
