More nonsense that hinders mankind.

How does that verse hinder mankind?

I don't trust mankind anyway. I trust god less however.

Because man's philosophy is more egalitarian.

Nellinator
How does that verse portray men as unequal.

Alliance
It dosent, but it points you to something that does...if you take the Bible as God's word of course.

And honestly, if we're only to list to the voice of god, no one should be listening to anyone about faith since Jesus (no one)

1. People disagree
2. He never taught anything after he died. All you listen to is the man part.

I always like the verse: Come let us reason together.

Meaning stop being a drone and think.

Until you come to the verse "Do as i say."

Until you come to the verse "Do as i say." It would work if we knew what "I" is and what "I" says.

Yes. Well, if that was the case, then I'd follow the people in the Conspiracy Forum -- their logic is very similar to the Bible.

I never really believed in any of it. My parents were ex-Catholics who came to my Church (Congrgationalist) because they had better kids programs. I stopped going to sunday school around the time the stuff really became "real." I was mroe concerned with getting my donut. Then with sports et al, Sunday was my only day off a week and It was good to sleep in.

When I was 10-13 I realized that everything good I learned in church was teaching me to be a good citizen and neighbor, ideas that are hardly limited to Christianity. Christianity was not essential to my life and when it actually tried to become real, I rejected it.

Apparently this isn't totally out of line. My younger brother and sister have done the same.

But are not reading the words of God from the writing of men. I think that was what they meant.

I think I was about 14, maybe a year younger. My parents never went to church much but considered themselves as Christians. People would ask, "Do you go to church?" and they would shamefully shake their heads as if they had already been condemned to Hell. So when I was told to go to to church, I knew something was wrong from the jump.

It was the people who made me notice the flaws first though.

Too much, "He is all knowing and everything has a reason although I haven't the slightest clue what it is."

lord xyz
Actually scratch that, I wasn't 8, I never got into religion, my town is pretty religious as in, they raise people as light Christians, but I still didn't buy it. 8 is round about the age I stopped believing in God.
