True, but CRAZY. never comment on religion, dude your gonna get shot

You've got to keep in mind that this is just a guide that has been grosly mssinterpreted over the years. The origional texts are long gone and the translators and higher ups in the origional religeous communities have probably only included what they think is proper and added quite a few of their own things as well. Thie book is a guide. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT FOLLOW A BOOK ANYWAY! So most people who have been burned by "christians" please keep in mind that they are not following true faith...I am Christian...but I believe it's not anybodys say what really goes on in Gods head. We're not supposed to know everything anyway.

I agree it could successfully be used as a moral guide for a person... unless, it could be argued, that morals are relative to the individual (let's not get into that).

I was reading an interesting article (I forget where ), it pointed out that the references to homosexuality being a sin in the eyes of the lord can be altered considerably when you substitute the various interpretations of the word.... I shall edit this post should I rediscover the word. But one of the interpretations was 'male prostitute'.

I can't remember if my original comment was wildly offensive... infact I seem to remember the picture starting out quite funny, but deterioating into an anti-christian rant.

Screw the book just follow the ten commanments, which will keep you out of jail or the jerry springer show

Well said.

Haha, you've completely lost your sense of humor if you think that the photo is making fun of Christians. It's a social comment on the ridiculous idea that we must now place little stickers in science books that say "WARNING: EVOLUTION IS ONLY A THEORY."

Thats well said, too

the ACLU would never try to attack free speech. the ACLU is about defending civil liberties, not attacking them. also, I haven't noticed this "making fun of Christians" trend. Christians make up a big majority of U.S. citizens, so unless they're making fun of themselves, the idea that making fun of Christians is becoming popular is way off. you can be as offended as you want by this post, but there is a lot of truth to it. you say you're a Catholic - the Vatican planned the Inquisition (the systematic torture and murder of non-Catholics). it was also complicit in the Nazi Holocaust. Christian fanaticism also led to burning of "witches," bloody wars against Muslims (the Crusades), and is a factor in public support for the Bush's modern-day imperialist Crusade, along with racism. I'm a spiritual person, but adherence to dogma interferes with our understanding of social reality. way too many people call themselves Christians and completely forget the teachings of Jesus, whom both Muslims and Hindus consider to be a great prophet. if you really want to follow Jesus' message, you should see how much there is to learn from other religions. I find Taoist philosophy particularly helpful. "The rigid and stiff will be broken. the soft and flexible will overcome." "moderation is the greatest thing for teaching people and serving Heaven." "when people see things as good, evil is created. when people see things as ugly, beauty is created. long and short define each other. before and after follow each other."
