I should have cut the quote off at the first sentence if I was going to say I agree with it. I feel like a religion trying to control people into all thinking the exact same way and not leaving room for interpretation, as well as threatening eternal damnation if you slightly stray off the designated path is ridiculous. I guess I never have agreed with uncboy10 on anything, so I got a little hasty when I realized I finally agreed with him on something. But yes, in his typical "progressive" manner, he kind of jumped the shark calling it child abuse. Although I do feel like cramming religious strories down kids throats just for the sake of it isnt very productive.
I was born Catholic - and as I've stated on here before: I absolutely believe in a higher power, supreme being, God, or whatever you want to call it. I still somewhat identify as a Catholic (when asked, that's still the box I check), but I don't blindly go along with everything in that religion just because I feel I have to. And I think that the Bible has a lot of very important morals and teachings to convey. But I also think that people who blindly believe any metaphor that is written in there, aren't doing themselves the justice of figuring it out on their own. I guess what I'm trying to say is, what makes the people that wrote the Bible the gurus on God? Why is it not possible that there are some inaccuracies, or misinterpretations in there, just like there could be in any other book ever written?
Can't get any better beer than Natty Lights up there!?
