Whatever religioon you follow, it does not mean that you to have to accept whatever the guy in the rob pushes down your throat. God has blessed humans with reason and compassion. every doctrine should stand the test of both.

The argument that either you beleive in the whole bible or reject the whole is illogical. Its been transmitted from Christ to us by human intermedieries and is prone to error. Then again, the interpretation of the text is not the sole right of select few clergy. The church hierarchy ensures that only its own interpretation of bible is propagated, coz it shuns any lateral thinkers.

I agree with Oprah, one has to find God in his heart and not in his church.

The clergy blackmail people into accepting their ideas by labelling liberla thinkers by labelling them antichrist or unchristian. Has God assigned them the duty of judging people on earth?

dmsolomom: how do ya know Christ is controlling you? all one can be sure of is that your priest is controlling you.
