What I really don't understand is how you can believe in the stories/anecdotes in the bible. You can't prove them, everybody and their mother knows the bible has been modified to fit a specific agenda from many different rulers/priest/etc, and then you get the luxury to pick and choose what you want to follow. You can say Fuck gays, they're a bunch of immoral monsters, but eating shrimps and other crustaceans is cool. The bible (from what I have read/seen/searched) literally tell you to hate them, both gays and crustaceans. It also tells you stone disobedient children TO DEATH but we certainly don't do that. I believe (please correct me if wrong) this is all the old testament so we don't give 2 shit and a rat's ass about but except for the gays.

To add insult to injury, I've seen many people say that the bible is open to interpretation and that people have different ways of interpreting God's words. BULLSHIT. Not only do you not acknowledge the bible's obvious flaws as it pertains to our modern society, but now it's open for you to pick and choose. Come on. How can, and here is the kicker, "the word of GAAAWWWDDD" be open to interpretation?

If I offend anybody, i really don't care quite honestly. I don't affiliate with any religion, not even atheism but my parents had christian catholic upbringings and they believe in a higher power but they did not force us to go to church which i cannot thank them enough not brainwashing me at a young age. Because of that, I get to explore different religions with an open mind and I decided they're all pretty meh.  I wish I had the drive to read through the entire thing because i do feel very hypocritical for bashing it while not having read it. If anything, the bible and religion had a purpose in our world at one point. It helped us give reason to things we could not understand. It gave us peace of mind knowing that some things just happen cause God said so. That isn't the case anymore. We are a still evolving species that is becoming more technologically advanced as the centuries pass and we figure out more and more things as we progress, while all the previous events we attributed to god will become smaller and smaller because they will facts to back up the scientific reason for those events happening.

Ok, done ranting. All in all, you can believe what you want to believe. I think it's silly and childish that this day in age we look up to a book writen by MEN. Flawed men like you and I and all of us here in VGC but that's my biased opinion. I will never understand religious believe. I just can't wrap my head around just hoping that shit will happen. Timmy is fighting cancer? Oh god will save him. Bullshit.

EDIT: I just proof read this wall to be little less aggressive and spelling. Also, some people bring up a good point about religions and their members involving politics to get their own ideas and laws across.

My thoughts on gays as a Christian: I don't think you are born gay, but you might pick up very early in life who you are physically attracted to. Who are we to say you can just stop being attracted to the same sex? It doesn't work that way. Let them be and treat them with kindess, as they are normal people like everyone else. All this gay hate from Christians is not doing them any good. It just makes the gays stronger and work together more in order to get the rights they want.

Your post just sounds angry. Why do you harbor so much hatred? If there is one thing that I am most thankful for my religion, it's a peace of mind. I'm not telling you what to believe, but maybe you should take some yoga classes and clam yourself down :)

It's alright to look for answers, it's what we are here for. But don't do so with anger and bitterness. It only makes it more difficult for yourself.

You're speaking out of a very limited uderstanding of the Bible, as well as a biased view from observing a small but vocal bunch of so-called Christians who live nothing like Jesus did. I would suggest you at the very least read the book of Matthew to learn about the life of Jesus. He railed against the judgemental religious leaders of his time so much it got him killed.

My thoughts on gays as a Christian: I don't think you are born gay, but you might pick up very early in life who you are physically attracted to.
