Things are usually pretty simple for me. If I disagree with almost everything someone supports then I ask myself why would I support anything they endorse. Sure we can learn from anyone but I don’t believe you can consider these issues in isolation.

Please be very careful with this "simplicity". Christianity was used to suppress and attack Jews (Catholicism) and Christianity was also used as a justification for slavery (Protestantism [my father is a Methodist preacher whom told me about the North and South break up of the Church over slavery]).

We do not hold all Christian teachings in contempt over these false interpretations of God's will.

WHAT? Not believing in evolution is the same as attacking jews and slavery?! Thats just plain nuts.

The bible says God created and not life formed out of pond scum. Seems pretty simple to me.
