Hey, I am not gonna say that it doesn't disgust me when there are disgusting things written in the Bible.
Where did I ever confess to being any sort of fundamentalist?
Regarding the non-existence of the quote that I put ... how could it be non-existent if i quoted it? lol
But the point that Sean made is important.
Most Christians - be they "cultural", "christened", "baptised" or whatever, don't actually read or regard the bible, whereas, Muslims - especially the Wahabis in UK have fundamentalism drilled into them.
Sure there are 'orrible passages in the bible ... so let's see them for what they are. They are the ancient writings of men who thought in this war-mentality --much like George Bush ....
But, culturally, in Churches in the UK especially, God is taught as being "Love"...
when is the last time Allah was called "Love"?
There is no argument here.
we agree mostly
Old testament = Cruel.
Islamic books = Cruel.
It's just that they believe theirs, Christians often don't!
