I don't belive the Bible is intended to be taken literally in all parts. Not only is it full of metaphors, when you translate 3000 year old writings from an amalgam of different languages into modern English it would tend to change some of the vocabulary and vernacular.

I agree. Try translating the following sentence," My father would like to give you gift to take to you mother." from ancient hebrew (of which we only know about a quarter of the language) to arabic to ancient greek to latin back to hebrew back to latin again then on to english, french, german, spanish and all the rest of the world's languages over a perion of 3000 years and that sentence will not be remotely the same.

17% huh??...Wow, that's not a lot of people thinking for themselves....Kinda scary when you think about how religions influence and shape the world with it's politics and all.

Actually it's funny how 83% of the people look at the world, see the nature of man and humanity, and choose to believe in God.

What's more funny is the flack they catch from the minority, which by all accounts, is more in control of the world than we are. wink

I do hope you realize your mistakes.

If the 17% were more in control, they could... I don't know... fight for equality and legalise gay marriage?

But as far as I can tell, the government wants to get rid of two people's happiness.

And that is just one example.

I've read that something like 53% of families still pray over dinner, so I kinda thought it would be lower too.


Anyway to check the Gallup polls, and see?

It actually scares me that America is so God fearing, I think it's dangerous.

For a long time man thought the world was flat and the minority felt otherwise.

Majority doesn't mean its right it means you have more people that will agree with you and make your choice easiersmile

I said it before, I'll say it again - Majority has the MIGHT, but minority has the RIGHT.

So yeah...majority can, and it usually is wrong.

Considering the fact that many Amercians found the sight of Janet Jackson's naked breats offensive, I'd say that about 99% of America is wrong. laughing
