A primitive religion

[lone wolf]

Whereas I'm not a religious person, I can see the point to it. I acknowledge a higher power. Without something to keep folks humble, people tend to think they're much bigger than they really are. They're the sort who think they're better than anyone else and end up going postal because they can't have it all their way.

I assumed people knew those quotes.

There isn't much I can do to help someone who lives in a Christian society and doesn't examine the religion themselves.

Try reading God Is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens.

This is a good source too: Is the bible hate literature?

Well you know what happens when you assume....

Your post became biased...

What's the book of a Christian Scott? What Christian religion do you know that follows the Old Testament?

Every Christian I have ever met quotes the old testament and rants about the ten commandments. I'm sure they pick and choose what they use but Jesus still advocated the teachings of Mosses. Jesus was a Jewish rabbi after all.

I have no reason to worry about such things do I? What standard am I being held accountable to without my knowledge? It seems to me there are a great many biased posters around here. Why should I be expected to be any different?

I guess I must acknowledge myself as my own higher power then, because I only have to catch myself doing something dense to keep myself humble. lol

Ah, you learned not to assume from your post about Lone's guns that he has hanging on his wall? Good for you.

I am biased, too........ in my favor.
