[QUOTE="tequilasunriser"] The bible is a book of moriality guidelines that people took too far. The bible is just a guide to help assist people into living a better life. Then sects and cults came along and made it into something far bigger than it actually is... religion.
Now the the religions that use this 2000+ year old tool exploit it's teaching to strike fear into their followers to keep them believing. To keep them loyal out of fear. Fear that they will be sent to eternal damnation.
F that $#!%. I'd rather live my short life free and not like a caged corn-fed animal.

I agree that the Churchs throughout these 2000 or so years have taken away the true meaning of the Bible. But I think that the Bible not only gives moral lessons, it also gives advice on every part of life, and helps put us on a path through life that will make us better people and ultimately bring us to heaven with the Lord. When man is ever involved, there are bound to be corruptions and the like. The Bible and the lessons in there are supposed to make us as Christians love life and appreciate all the gifts and blessing the God has given us. Nowadays the idea is that if you are Christian or something then suddenly you have a dull or sad life and have to walk around with a sad face on. The complete opposite is true. It makes life so much more beautiful because you know that there is a Creator and he loved humanity so much that he came to Earth as Jesus Christ and died for us so that our sins die with him and we are cleansed. Being Christian is not supposed to be scary or scare us into believing because theres a hell, but it is supposed to make us happy and joyous.
And I am sorry if you feel the tone is weird to anybody who is a non-believer, because I am typing as if I am typing to a fellow Christian.
Agreed. And also, God is very forgiving. If you were to do wrong he will forgive you. Now I'm not saying that you can just murder people and steal things every day and at the end of the day just ask for forgiveness, because then God obviously knows that you are just using him. You feel me?
