Biblical Truth? What is biblical TRUTH. The Bible is a compilation of stories the ancient Jews told to give their Priests power over the people. Over time they were written down and somehow became "The Word of God." The laws in the Bible are cherry picked by these pastors to fit their own prejudices. We ignore most of them and misinterpret the rest.
Even the symbol used by Christian Churches is an instrument of torture and death (Particularly the one used showing Jesus hanging on it) - I have a deep and sincere Christian Faith. My faith celebrates the life that Jesus came to teach. It was described by Ellen in her response to "One Million Moms" (Not quite 50,000) when they tried to get her fired from JCPenny. DeGeneres said,
“I stand for honesty, equality, kindness, compassion, treating people the way you want to be treated, and helping those in need. To me, those are traditional values.”
I agree with her and unfortunately the RC Bishops and the Political Republican Candidates can't quite see it. Perhaps they need new glasses. Oh Yeah and The Word of God....I think Jesus told us what that word is. LOVE. That is the measuring stick by which to tell if something is lined up with the Deity. No matter what you call her/him.
