beating bible-ers
again alan, i am sorry you have been so wounded by people of my faith that you must feel that way. i sincerely apologize that christians in your own family acted out in oposition of all they claimed to be. i am sorry for the crusades. i am sorry for george bush claiming the name of christian. i am sorry for those in this country who would have it be a theocrazy. i am sorry for dogmatic zealots who do nothing to serve others but only themselves. i am sorry for christians who claim to know all the answers and have stopped asking questions. i am sorry for my own failures. i am sorry for making you angry by the mention of the word jesus. i am sorry for all that. good grief we've hurt you deeply that you hate so much. i am sorry. i mean that as much as i can. i hope you can forgive. i understand if you can not. i hope you don't find some hidden agenda in this message to you. there is none.

Having read only the last few posts, lemme just say that I prefer to live and let live and wish more people would do the same. I respect people who are secure enough in their beliefs (whatever they may be) to not shove them down other people's throats or attack people who believe something else.
So... I heard the best Jesus joke at Miguel's this weekend. Is this the place for that?

W. E. Gladstone: “I have known ninety-five of the world’s great men in my time, and of these eighty-seven were followers of the Bible. The Bible is stamped with a Specialty of Origin, and an immeasurable distance separates it from all competitors.”

Napoleon: “The Bible is no mere book, but a Living Creature, with a power that conquers all that oppose it.”

mgad, Why do you feel like my questions, seeker seeking understanding, is an attack such that you need to know "my beliefs" in order for my questions to be valid. Maybe you think I'm the devil?

I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
