My Catholic friends have a strict moral code and hard-line opinions on issues of morality. It's all due to what they've read and what they've been told based on words from the Bible. The Bible. Talking snakes, people living to be 800 years old. People getting stoned for working on the Sabbath. Going to hell for mixing cotton and linen. A boat that contained two of every species on earth. Burning bushes. Splitting rivers. Etc, etc. Then you have Mormons, and they believe everything that is written in the Book of Mormon. A book that was translated by a convicted criminal that he made by translating what was written on Golden tablets that only he could see. It states that Jews were originally from North America, and that the Garden of Eden was in Missouri. My belief is that you would have to be crazy to take the Bible literally. Just as you would have to be just as crazy to take the Book of Mormon literally. Things written in the Bible aren't any less crazy then what Mormons believe from their book. Most of us are just used to the contents of the Bible because it's been around for so long. Resurrections and virgin births aren't any less crazy than getting your own planet when you go to heaven and living the principle of plural marriage. And my point is this: How can people pick and choose certain things to follow in the Bible and ignore others, and still call themselves Christians? How does that even make any sense? |
Boy, you people would be bored to death if there were no christians on the internet
