I must say that the no state religion thing sounds like such a good idea.
In theory, it's a nice idea. Of course, most of the population is Christian anyway, and we do have plenty of bigots and fanatics here, so non-Christians do still have to put up with a fair bit of shit in certain places, but at least legally everybody has protection from religious persecution.
True and I'd be in heaps of trouble. I quite like the old testment and it fits closer to my beliefs about God (mainly that he's a twisted bastard).
The Old Testament has better stories than the New. The philosophy in the New Testament is nicer and happier, but it's kind of bland. =)
St. Paul, the band-wagon jumping hypocrite, I want to see ripped out of the book.
Is that the guy who was responsible for a good chunk of the Bible, or am I thinking of someone else?
(I'm a non-Christian and have some familiarity with certain parts of the Bible and no familiarity with other parts of it. *G*)
