Hahahaha. I'm one of the least hateful people you'd ever meet. I live my life full of love for others. I'm concerned about your 'disgust' of religious establishments or whatever you'd like to call it. (Pardon me for reading more into it than you wrote.) It concerns me whenever anyone is not accepting of other's beliefs. You don't have to believe in them, but you should at least allow other too.

Not all religious people are hypocrites, and you're right, I have interpreted the Bible to 'suit' my own needs. However, since it's been altered before to suit different churches needs, I am comfortable with my own 'form' of Christianity. It's part of my own 'personal' journey with God. Whether or not I change 'His Word' to suit my own needs is between Him and I and no concern of yours.

Both you and Cow keep asking for proof. I keep admitting there is none. I don't see how that's avoidance. What I do see as avoidance is that you don't really answer the fact that there is no proof either way, but you refuse to believe there may be a God. Science cannot disprove God.

Religion, (at least Christianity/Judaism) HAS changed. But the underlying premise has stayed the same... if there is a God, (which the Bible and other Holy Books all say a person needs to have faith in,) we have to believe in Him.

I keep asking you for proof He doesn't exist, and you avoid that too....
