Re: The Freshest..
Hi,
One example would be the Biblical view on adultery and how that destroys a marriage
LOL, you mean you need a supreme being to tell you that?
I mean there is just no way on earth that the common guy on the street could have made this conclusion at all is there, it really has to be a superior being that works that one out!
Why do so many Christians use the Bible as a gimmick?

Re: The Freshest..
Hi Chuck,
Try to picture Al Quaida and why they feel justified in beheading American/Brittish/S Korean 'infidels'...
Well, when we consider that the Christian 'Holy War' concept is based on the fictional conquest narratives we see a blatant case of double standards.
Do you recall the overturning of the murder conviction of Lieutenant William Calley by Judges Roert Elliot in 1974?
The American troops led by Calley slaughtered unarmed old men, and women and children, some even raped and tortured civilians before killing them. Calley saw a baby crawling away from a ditch of critically wounded villagers, grabbed the baby by the leg threw it back in the ditch and shot it.
Judge Elliot actually quoted from the Bible when he overturned the conviction stating that 'war is war and it is not at all unusual for innocent civilians to be numbered among its victims. It has been so throughout recorded history. It was so when Joshua took Jericho an ancient Biblical times'.
A murderer acquited based on the morality of a work of fiction, absolutely disgusting.
Brian.
