Understanding a Misunderstood Bible Verse - JSTOR Daily

I am a Lutheran by upbringing and believe it is up to each person to read their own Bible and come up with what it means to that person without the interference of others.

I also minored in Religious Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno. The problem of evil has interested me a lot all my life. We have laws to deal with evil deeds even if those also are often dependent on historical circumstance.

Yes, and we used to have DECENCY laws until stupid organizations like the ACLU got involved, chipping away at decency. It's funny how sin becomes acceptable until someone gets hurt. Burning down cities based on some incident that is deemed wrong to some folks, is acceptable to folks from other cities....not so much to the victims. Perversion is OK in the media until someone finally puts a stop to it.
