I am Christian (as you know) but I don't get that this isn't a debate when it seems like it is. You can't change my belief any more than I can change yours. We know each other toooooooo well lol. We are both stubborn Texans

i think one of the best examples of non religious and religious interaction was on Seinfeld, when Elaine found out Puddy was religious... she asks him if it bothered him that she wasn't religious, and he says, no, why should it? your going to hell, not me...

Matthew 10:14

Whenever someone quotes a bible passage I like to read the passage as well as some before and after to get the full context of the quote. It's amazing to me how many time I see something like Matthew 10:21 "“Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death." On the same page as the loving Jesus quotes they intended.

"If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet."

That is what I am referring to. It is saying basically don't force views on others....sheesh

Right, that sounds like a great way to live life. But on the same page it talks about killing family members. Which doesn't sound like a great way to live life.

Oh I got your point. My point however, was to point out that you can take anything from the bible. It's a big book of multiple choice that few people really read.

I don't focus on the bad, but I can't just overlook it when there are people that use the bible as a justification for all their actions.

Which is exactly why I point it out every chance I get. Until they see the contradiction they can't change. I can't enlighten everyone, but I'll die trying.

well, then you're as bad as they are if you're trying to "change" people... you really think you're going to change a fundamentalist? i mean, why? it's their life, who cares that they believe in a magical being with omniscient powers that controls everything in the known universes from the beginning of time till the end of time?

I'm not trying to change them. I'm trying to educate them. Though people do tend to change with more education.
I know many people that were fundamentalist that have changed their minds and much more.
I don't care what they believe except when their beliefs affect more than just them. Like for instance schools not teaching evolution to teach creationism as science. It's been a major issues in many places.
