10/01/02: Religion is a bunch of fucking bunk.

Well said, Jag. I agree that there are some very nice and intelligent Christians. All they're doing, though, is taking their already reasonable worldview, and picking and choosing all the sane things from Chrisitianity that coincide with their already held beliefs. All the really fucked up stuff that's in the bible they just ignore. The people who get their morality and worldview directly from Bible tend to complete nutjobs.

I think you're pretty close there. But I think it's more an issue of literal vs. figurative interpretation rather than picking and choosing. One of the things I find humorous is how people think God literally created the universe in seven earth days. Hmmm... it's pretty hard to base creation of the universe off of the rotation of some chunk of rock that didn't even exist when the clock started!
