The God of the Bible is basically a petty, mean-spirited, self-absorbed asshole. If that's what God's really like, well, for one, it would explain why this world is so completely fucked  and two, it explains why most of his followers are a-holes too. (not referring to you but your average Christian) I actually used to like reading your blogs when you were anti-religion...  |
Sounds to me like you're basing your beliefs on pre-conceived notions without researching the issues on your own. Many evangelicals are beginning to profess the same beliefs I mentioned.
It's ridiculous to take the Bible at face value, as the translation into English is lacking and out of context in many ways. Only in-depth study reveals what was truly intended.
