There is a religious scholar makes Reza Aslan who was on the daily show recently and he said something that I think fits into this thread quite well.
I'm paraphrasing here, but basically he said that more often than not people don't derive their values from their scripture, but instead they project their values into their scripture. He points out that there was a time when both slave owners and abolitionists were using the same bible to justify their positions.
Bet with Adamblaziken:
I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
