I think he's trying to be a "cool" misanthrope character. (I don't think it's working)

Hypocrisy is very ugly indeed, and people who use an ancient text to justify hateful views but at the same time are happy to use antibiotics, cars, etc, are a disgrace to both believers who genuinely try to live a loving and accepting life, and to the human race.
The Old Testament as previously mentioned is basically the Jewish faith. The New Testament is purely for Christians and I must admit I have a problem with a lot of Paul's views.

Assuming you're referring to the Sermon on the Mount, you'll find the "love your enemies" bit shortly after the bit about not marrying divorced women.
I doubt all bits are taught with the same emphasis. But I reiterate, I agree with you in the main.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ October 30 2011, 8:47 PM BSTThose people who weren't brought up with religion, then become religious as adults, that is weird. If you haven't had it beaten into you since childhood, how do you suddenly look at that stuff and think 'Yeah, that all sounds about right, sign me up'?? What is the evidence that turns you?!
no real evidence. just faith. but amongst all the crap lots of good things do happen when you least expect it.

OK - so I started this thread under the title "Your religion." In the main it's attacking/defending Christianity. How about slagging off the Prophet Mohammed?

He married a nine-year-old girl.
I disapprove of that kind of behavior.
Anyone want to debate me?

I was never raised Islam. So you might as well talk about Voodoo (who do you do). Not to belittle either religion mind.

I was talking about religion in general, really.

Actually, I am mistaken. He married her at six, but didn't f**k her until she was nine.

My points were about all religions. As with all beliefs, some people are kind and hopeful and accepting, some people are f**king nutjobs.

I'm sure he was an okay guy in many other respects.
Got any pictures?
