No one needs to interpret scripture for you. It's one of the saddest misconceptions I have found being a life long (sorta) Catholic.

I don't like it when people use the subject of religion to find reason to put others down, mock them, belittle them and show their fannies.
Some on this thread have done that, and others I KNOW to be examples of good sense, kindness, thoughtful dealings with others, patience and good works. I am sort of a struggling Christian. I think it beats the hell out of other religions that kill those who don't join up. But then I am biased because I see a lot of Christians and Jews who I just love. Also love me some folks who are Hindu and Jain and are Atheist and Agnostic. I don't love mean people. I think some were just born that way. Maybe I am a Struggling Christian Geneticist who believes in God (with a capital G) most of the time and wish I had stronger faith.

Why does everything need a label?
|
#24
|
||
|

Because it makes it easier for some folks, oftentimes those who use their religious book, to help identify...who to hate/denigrate?

Individual faith is like a thumb print. No two people have exactly the same body of beliefs, "Christians included".

I would say some Christian’s are the good gangs. As used as verb!

We label folks by their heritage, their religion, their dress, the color of their skin, even their status of income, their views of the world and make a general and almost always wrong decision on who they are. "It's important to recognize that the people we label as "black," "white," "rich," poor," smart," and "simple," seem blacker, whiter, richer, poorer, smarter, and simpler merely because we've labeled them so.
