> Studying the Bible gave me vastly more insight into human nature and motives than any schooling I ever had. The Bible and Christianity absolutely are NOT out dated, even if you do not believe the spiritual side of it, which I do.
What all these great intellectual progressive brains fail to understand is that nothing is new under the sun (except technology) and that Man’s nature will always stay the same. To think otherwise after spending decades on this planet and watching men repeat the same patterns over and over again like a rat in a maze is pure idiocy.
Times may change, but people never do.
Think about the most horrible things humans do on a daily basis that the modern press writes about.
People did the same things thousands of years ago.
Think a 2014 San Francisco Pride Parade is bad?
Hells Bells, the Romans and Greeks considered it a sign of "status" to have a young boy as a lover.
We're not THAT far down the sewer, yet, but rest assured it WILL happen.
There really is nothing "new" under the sun.
The Old and New Testaments were very clear about why we shouldn't go down such pathways.
They weren't being religious "meanies".
Or judgemental kooks.
They just showed us it leads to Death.
Spiritual Death which is worse than physical death.
