Back in 1982 at Kent State I had this old liberal (and ex-Marine) American history professor who said that the greatest two Americans came from the South. One was George Washington. The other was Martin Luther King.

Think about it...

He's a great writer/speaker for sure.

Damning with faint praise? :rolleyes:

No D, I was serious. I had just read that letter.

Amazing things can happen when someone uses the Bible rather than scrutinize and question it.

Seeing as how the bible has been edited and rewritten so many times by men I would think it prudent to scrutinize and question the good book. Just my opinion, YMMV.

Ain't that the truth.
People use the bible to justify their wrong doing all the time and I think it's pretty amazing that others fall for that old trick.

And all his time I thought that Jesus wrote the New Testament while riding his t-rex on the many trips he made to Nazereth to visit mom and dad.

I was taught that it was Siddhartha....:D

You mean Jeepster;)

Nah, it was fax'ed down from above.

Half was written directly by God for the Jews, you know, the ones christians used to like to kill (along with everyone else) unless they confessed and converted....(sound familiar)......

The other half was written directly by the Son of God.


Never mind those hundreds of years and and books added or left out over time (see canons and the likes)

Why do the people who claim to believe and follow it also seem to be the ones that promote war and show little compassion to "thy neighbors"

Keep on preachin' folks......
