The other thing is that many people condemn christianity and christians for the laws of the old testament. By this i mean the arguement of 'You can't believe in some of the bible and not all of it'.

The old testament is the law before Jesus Christ.

God cannot be near sin. This means that for a person to be with God they must be completely without sin. This is why the old testament has many laws or whatever about animal sacrifice. The sacrifice pays for the sins, and thus the individual can be in the presence of God. Jesus Christ dying on the cross was a sacrifice for the sins of everyone, making these laws obsolete.

In the Old Testament, God told the Israelites to rape and kill children after they conquered their city.  Not quite the 'God cannot be near sin' idea that you state.

Look, I appreciate that you hate religion, or maybe just Christianity, I don't know, but anyway, this was a totally unnecessary attack. 

This thread is not about that, you're not on topic here.  You don't have to come running every time someone talks about his faith and turn it into a war. 

I don't know what went on in the thread the OP refers to, and maybe that's why you came in here with that comment, but please leave it there. 

I'm quoting the Bible.  If a thread about Christianity comes up, how is it wrong to directly quote what the Bible says?
