Its not up to you to decide what people should and shouldn't believe in. Besides, I think most moderate religious folks don't believe in biblical verse in a literal sense, but choose to take an interpretation of the lessons in each story or book.

How about down with both of them. It takes a pretty awesome person to pull off a$$less chaps, and from the news stories that I saw last year on the GPP in Toronto, those weren't the ones wearin em. And of course I'm talking about hot chicks wearing them.
