I admire your dedication to your religious beliefs.
However please don't be upset that the the nature of open exchange on this Forum means that you may also hear from non Christians, as well as from people who have religious opinions which are quite different from your own.

Well said Bare.
Not only do Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Atheists, Agnostics, and Theists disagree, but virtually every subgroup of all religions disagree with each other on key points, and interpret their ancient writings in vastly contradictory ways. The Bible was written by scholars who probably made up many stories (Noah, Jonah) as cautionary tales to keep their flock in line and scare them from straying from religious dogma. I believe in God and attend church, but don't put too much faith in the people who manage religious organizations, as they have proven time and again not to be Godly people. I believe we would all be better off just living by the Golden Rule.
