Pens kill people. And neither one is as dangerous as beer. Ergo, Jesus was just having a beer with his disciples. Two was enough.

Originally Posted By ecdc >>I hope most people would<< Well I would, but the Bible tells us that it's cool to sacrifice our children (Abraham) or wipe out the children and grandchildren of others. If people don't want us to use religion to point out flaws in belief systems (about things like guns) then don't believe offensive, ridiculous crap. If there is a god and he asked me to kill my son, I'd tell him where he could go. He's god, he can give my son cancer and my wife and I will take care of him until he's passed away.

Originally Posted By mawnck >>I'm learning much about you, ecdc.<< Dun dun dunnnnnnnn! Just for the record, most of the Protestants I would be willing to associate with are of the opinion that the Old Testament (which includes the Abraham thing) is no longer applicable, in fact, that's the ENTIRE POINT of the New Testament, Jesus's ministry, and Christianity itself. Those who claim to believe the Bible, but to not believe this, have a SERIOUS reading comprehension problem. Sort of like believing your car's owners manual, except for the part about the gas pedal making it go.

My usage of "Christianity" is largely encapsulated in the Christian Coalition---or those that wear the banner of Christ upon their sleeves. The term "Christian" has been largely hijacked by the religious right, thus explaining my comment.
