Hate to say it, but the Bible is a mistranslated, selectively released version of incomplete scrolls written in a dead language, that were found in caves that used to be underwater. It is a fantastic story, but simply because it claims to be written (by proxy through prophets and such) by the same being that also claims to have created the world does not mean that it should be taken as life's instruction manual. A lot of people could take offense at this...I am not one of them.

I was raised as a Christian, despite the fact that I never believed in it. My father was so obtuse in his thinking that he grounded me for a summer when I wanted to stop going to church...he thought I was lazy, when I had no faith or purpose to go to a place of worship.
