Someone said recently,
"It is so sickening that religion can't be taught in schools, the liberal minded people do everything possible to make the truth not known."
Well, you know what's more troubling, is that religion says people will fry forever if they aren't good enough and the bible lays out in much detail what you need to do to be good enough, then when you aren't and no-one ever is, you feel guilty, ashamed, even bitter and judgmental and many believing these lies even not religious just don't care because they think they have nothing to lose and do bad things and worse. That is far more sickening then not teaching the 'truth'.
Maybe that god Dude had good reason to be so very p_ssed off at the religious if his day and maybe he has just as much reason to be so to the religious of today or more.
Who knows for sure.
But I do know elitism, being judgmental, even tripping people out not meaning to is very wrong.
But hey, honestly, I guess I'm just the pot calling the kettle black, but it makes me more sad then angry it happens and too much. I just wish people could see deeper into themselves and the world around them so less would get hurt, that's all.

Kedarwolf, I actually found your blog by doing a search on the Dead Sea Scrolls. In any case, I wanted to try to clarify the Christian position as I believe it (and as the Bible says). Becoming a Christian isn't a matter of being good or stopping the "bad". NOBODY, not even Mother Teresa, could get to heaven simply by doing good works. The Bible clearly says that it's not by works that you are saved, but faith, and that faith is given to you by God. There are some Christians who misrepresent this. My guess is that you've had some professing Christians poison the accurate perspective for you. I'm not trying to convert you, not in the slightest. That's between you and God. But I'll tell you that I know that the Bible is infallable and the only source of accurate instruction that I know of...And I know that God sent Jesus to die for our sins so that people like you and me could have eternal life in a relationship with God. One of the neat things about Christianity is it is PURELY ABOUT GRACE. There is simply nothing you can do to earn it. Nothing. That's why no Christian should ever boast to you about having a relationship with Christ, and making the decision about following Christ isn't just about doing good and simply staying out of hell.
'Faith without works is dead..'
