So I heard Christianity is about love and tolerance. What happened to that?

Thats gods problem that we take things literally even if they are wrong now days. If he wanted us to do something else he should update the bible himself. Anyways i see that Im just causing problems and arguments by posting in this thread so im going to leave. have a good day.

We've really got to get past this racial stuff as a society. It's pathetic. Someone's different than me! OMG PANIC!

Shouldn't the preacher/pastor/minister know what the bible says? Shouldn't (s)he be able to support each of his/her sermons/rules with something from the bible? If god is racist why did he create more than once race? Originally Posted by Chickat

So religion justifies racism and biggotry? Good to know. Maybe I'll become religious so I can be a jackass, and whenever someone tries to get at me about it I just raise my holy book and go "Untouchable! Untouchable!". Originally Posted by Chickat

To my knowledge, the bible tells you to cut of your hand if you masturbate. I mean, there is no reasoning with something that wasn't deduced with reason to begin with.

There are some racist undertones to the Bible (as there any other text written at around that time), but it's useful to understand that most of them are found in the Pentateuch's rules and laws. Different Christian sects have different attitudes towards Mosaic law, but there's a definite trend towards it not necessarily applying to Christians because of the coming of Christ.
(also, that bit about masturbation has really shaky theological pinnings, but whatever)

This is racism nothing else... and even if it said that in the Bible it would still be wrong... The Bible is just a book like Harry Potter in opinion, pure fiction, some fanatics just took it up like a religion. (Yes i am anti religion, and anti racism).

Damn.. last time I checked we were all one race - Humans... So what is the problem? Where is this "interracial" here.. Well unless they talk about you know - a man married with a horse.. then I think they have a point..

The entire world is more racist than it cares to admit. Originally Posted by Baz

Just going to burn this. The intent is to flame/troll.
