How many dumb ***** that go on about gays and quote Leviticus think that it's a sin to wear linen and wool together! a sin punishable by death as I recall.
That's the word of god, non negotiable.

I wonder how those rules come into place? Or other silly rules. Textcritic where are you!
It's easy to think that if we just get rid of religion we wouldn't have these issues, but this isn't true at all. People will pick whatever bothers them and make a crusade about it. Some people need religion in their lives or they need the explanation, and that's okay. There is nothing wrong with that. It's when people push there beliefs on others, or force people into beliefs, that start the problems. There are great messages for life in the bible, much like what you are saying afc, people pick and choose... I'd love to see a re-edit to the King James bible as it re-edited the scripture way back in 1611.

Anyway, it would help people figure out who the fanatics are! lol
