So pride is not a sin then?

Of course pride is a sin, "Pride goes before a fall"

The bible is not god! That's really where your problem lies. In effect it's your Idol , your god.

PS - I would be extremely surprised to see a thread with the words "Koran" or "Torah" substituted for Bible in the title.

Originally posted by MaustrauserThe point is not whether the Bible contains passages that are in bad taste - I see no problems whatsoever in people raising those topics in a level-headed discussion (and many people, like #1, have). I have no problem with an honest discussion about how Christians dispose of their old Bibles (I don't - I still have every Bible I ever owned). That doesn't detract from the fact that much on this thread is intended to be deliberately offensive to Christians (and RBHill, for all his failings, can rarely be accused of malicious intent) - a vulgar contest. It is no different from a thread intended to be offensive to Afro-Americans, or Jews, or Muslims.
