I don't have any problems with religion or religious people. I believe the basic purpose (or my own assumption of it's purposes) is good, it explains good from bad, helps build morals and basic principles. But what you say is right, it's all in the interpertation of the reader. OR people interpet it in direct or in in-direct correlation with their own goals or ambitions. I understand this are the views of certain people and although I may not agree with them, I cannot and would not change them for this is the world I live in, an as fucked up as it may be, or as fucked up as the people in it may be, I can go on knowing what I believe to be true as merely a perception. That's all I need. | |

I always ask christians about the differences between "Religion" and "faith" and they usually tell me that religion is a bad thing, whereas faith is the goal. They tell me that, yes, they try not to get caught up in religion, that they would still feel god's presence even if they didn't go to church. But when I ask them if they could have that without the bible, they draw the line. To me, the bible symbolizes religion, embodies religion, and yet they will say something to the effect of, "The bible is the sourse of my faith." Doesn't makes sense to me. ~J http://www.myspace.com/kidsbike www.bloodybikebrigade.blogspot.com | |

For most people, their faith was installed with the Bible. It's where they found clarity, and when clouded the road ahead is, seek the path in the bible they do. (I love Yoda) They draw the line because the Bible is the closest thing to their God that holds materialistic properties. Terra Flata | |

I think that may have to do with people who want to be religious without the "fake" church atmosphere. Some churches are not really much more than a fashon show and people showing other people how holy they can be. Out of that group ther may be alot of serious people but the others probably ruin it for them so they just stay home and try to learn on their own in an environment without all the hollow games. Then they study their bible. I don't go to church or anything but this makes sence to me anyway. | |
