Use the bible like a fine wine.

Sip from it and savor the fruits.

The bible was written so that you wouldn't eat your neighbor without fearing eternal damnation.

Christians who take the bible so literally are no different than Islamic jihadists who follow the Koran.

Yeah, I know. It's not a particular belief that's the problem, it's belief itself.

It's perfectly fine for people to adopt a set of beliefs to round out their personality, or give them something to think about; they just shouldn't believe them very much.

I'm curious why you did not capitalize "Bible", but *did*
capitalize "Koran"--I feel it is disrespectful to not capitalize Bible when I'm speaking about the Holy Word of God--YMMV.

Sorry, after sipping that fine wine, I am now a BibleOholic. As you know, Jesus made the best wine. There is no comparison to the cheap swill that comes the Koran. Anyone that know anything realizes that if you fill your head with garbage, that is what comes out. The Bible has no garbage, drink up and give thanks.

Twice you have not capped Bible? But capped other things. Weird IMHO.

Paul told us to be zealots for the word.. Paul died a horrible death but it was not in vain. Odd Paul was not lopping head off as a converted Christian, but he was teaching love, compassion, and he (Paul was formally known as Saul, basically a jihadist that followed hated of all Christians and he killed them when he could find them as often as he could).

Perhaps you would like to show us where exactly you got your Christian = Islamic Jihadist conclusions? I would be interested personally how you could make this false comparison... It is unfathomable to me... and probable to most rational people as well.

This is one of the most asinine posts I have ever read on FR.

Unfreakin' believable.
