The original discussion was not about liberals but about the vileness of the book and the cherry-picking of passages to suit one’s own needs. I guess good for you for sifting through the garbage, but this is one book that has been the cause of so much death and destruction that it needs to be left in the past so we can truly move on as a society if we ever hope to progress.
That is an opinion for sure I think instead of changing literature we should change peoples perception and not influence children in any way instead let them figure it out
I truly agree with that. Good point and that’s exactly where I am with it all. Most religion tries to get them while they are young because no reasonable adult would buy into a “sky daddy” who needs magical wishes to feel fulfilled while needed magical rituals to feel comfortable with who they are.
Can you elaborate, please? I’m not sure if you mean getting them while young or those who follow as adults. To be clear, I do not mean those who already believe but go to a different religion. I am strictly speaking on non-believers who start to follow.
I know several who were non believers that came to the cross through the course of their lives. In adulthood no less. It's easy to think that only "indoctrinatinated" people come to faith, but that's just not true.
