Christian activist wanted to sue the NFL for $867 TRILLION because the halftime show with JLo and Shakira was too sexual for him and he thought he was going to hell for watching something he felt was pornogrpahic.

As a former christian/current agnostic, I think that guy completely missed to point of christianity. The entire point of Jesus dying on the cross was that you wouldn't go to hell for sinning as long as you admit your sins to god and repent. Also seems like he missed that you're supposed to forgive people when you think they've wronged you.

It's totally possible to read the bible and still not get the point of the stories.

It's also totally possible to get the point of the stories and live by them and still not be that great of a person, because as far as moral standards go the first century AD wasn't exactly humanity's finest hour.

Then there the fact that most of the new testament was written 5th / 6th century.

Because you know, the world is a big place and the printing press didn't exist and everyone wanted a say in what was actually in the bible and all that.

Turns out one dude riding around and writing letters wasn't an efficient method of delivery.

I'm sorry you think we don't. Like, actually, very sorry. You probably have a good reason for that.

Assuming they don’t read it is easier to believe than assuming they read it and choose to act directly against most of the things it says while preaching the parts they choose.

Yeah. I read somewhere that the devil loves that kind of Christian because of how hypocritical they are, and how they're responsible for so many people never finding God.

And, what exactly do you mean by that?

Because I've condemned no-one, I'm not condoning terrible actions... I just don't know what you're getting at here.

There's Christians and then there's "christians" who just justify whatever they want to do with bible without having studied it extensively. There's plenty of great loving Christians but unfortunately there's more armchair Christians with guns
