First of all I am Irish. I am not and never have been British.
Secondly, I never claimed to be superior to you. I am an ordinary person
and probably just as much of a redneck as you are.
Thirdly, the bible is a collection of 66 books written by different people
over a period of 1600 years. Many times the writings have been challenged.
Numerous translations and interpretations.
All I am saying is no one really knows for sure 100%
if they are correct or just the ramblings of some nuts
who existed around that time. The meanings of the passages are vague.
Some say they should be taken literally and others say they should be taken
figuratively. But no one, I repeat, no one can say for sure if they are correct.
Not you, not me, not anyone.
You only believe them because all your life you were told
this is the way, there is no other way in your view and you will not
challenge what you have been told all your life.
You don't know anything else only what you have been told and you accept it
without question because you think it is true and you are not prepared in any way
to accept any other alternative isn't that right RJ?
By the way, you are a self proclaimed right wing gun nut.
How does that fit in with Christ's laws of love one another?
His name was Jesus not Dirty Harry.
If there is a heaven up there with Golden Gates,
Is Jesus going to point his .44 at you as you try to enter and he'll ask you,
Do you feel lucky? Punk?
