Yes.  The guy who saves wounded civilians in war zones but worships the "wrong" God gets to go to heaven.  I'm okay with that.  Much better than him going to Hell.  Or worse, the unbelieving hold going to hell.  I can't conceive of a God who would be so arbitrarily cruel. [/quote]

Just because you can't conceive of such a god doesn't mean he doesn't exist.   really, have you read the Bible lately?  God can be really mean to people who displease him.  Maybe your god has nothing to do with the bible or any religious denomination -- but is just an amalgamation of things that appeal to you.[/quote]

Yes I've read the Bible.  I think it's [b]an account of God written by fallible humans and many things in it are symbolic.[/b]  And I think the interpretation of PP is jus what appeals to him as well. [/quote]

So what good is the Bible, if everyone just interprets it for themselves?  Why not just put it aside and determine what's best based on common sense, experience and evidence?

Just eave out God and religion entirely.  Who needs it.

Well, having a text that's open to interpretation is different from having no text at all.  (or we should also throw out the Constitution, right?)[/quote]

The Constitution, as you know, has been formally amended and was set up from its beginning to be adjusted, as needed, over time.  and everyone in the US accepts  the constitution as written and amended.  Cant say that about the Bible.  Any individual or group can come along and insist that their way is the right way and everyone else is wrong.  The bible is also filled with some truly gruesome stories and centuries of mistranslations from numerous ancient languages, unlike the constitution. [/quote]
