[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^Seriously?  You think anyone should take you as the final authority or any individual reference you provide as the final opinion on whether or not God exist?

Don't quit your day job, and I doubt peopke are rushing en masse to throw out bibles because of you.[/quote]

There are certain groups that would welcome you gladly.[/quote]The cartoon poster misrepresents Angelo Lopez as anti-bible but he is a believer and a person who has no patience for extremism or religious closed minds.  He is not anti-bible or anti-religion as the poster tried to display.  Lopez's work is quite good.

I didn't misrepresent him.  These are his words.

Not all believers are rabid like some on these threads.  He constantly struggles and even compares the church to a manipulative cult.  The cartoon is still appropriate, however, as many have only used the bible as "evidence."

[quote]Because of my experiences, I have a real love/hate relationship with Christianity. I've had some wonderful moments in church where I felt really close to God. And I've had moments where church felt like some crazy manipulative cult. I struggle with my faith, but I believe in God and Jesus. I've learned, however, to be very wary about certain type of Christians. Overall though the positive things about Christianity outweigh the negative things. And I really admire Jesus. No person lives up to the ideals of Jesus. But these are still great ideals worth striving for. To love your enemy. To love your neighbor as yourself. To reach out to the poor and the marginalized. To see that each individual has intrinsic value in the eyes of God. Jesus's message is still very radical and subversive.[/quote][/quote]
