Tom Paine was convinced the Bible was a bunch of Jewish lies.

He said that the REAL word of God is -- you guessed it -- Nature.

He said Nature is the only Bible that tells the Truth. The socalled

falsehood.

So what? Tom paine put his pants on the same way as the rest of us.
John Henry was convinced that the Bible needed to be printed on gold
plates or it wasn't the Bible. So what?

Lots of folks who haven't read the book (and even a pitiful few who
have) think all sorts of negative things about it. So what?

Lots of folks think all sorts of negative things about the Qur'an, the
Declaration of Independence, and apple pie too! So what?

No matter what it is, if it is important, there are some idiots
against it.





We all know that Christendom, in history, has often been harsh,
overbearing. Forcing the free tribesmen to change their habits, become
sedentary, till the soil, cease the maurauding.

Tribal peoples from the teutons onward have suffered immeasurably
during Chtristendom's long effort to civilize them, instill an
agricultural work ethic. They were actually free, or more free, back
before the Romans (Christianity) in the old days they were hunter-
gatherers. Nietsche said the Christians turned them into slaves.

Even today, Christians are guilty of a range of prejudice, some worse
than other. Maybe a few prejudice is relatively harmless.

But what about Phelps and the gay bashing? What about Matthew
Shepherd?

I am curious as to your source for this statement, would you provide
it please?

But you will likely try to "justify" that by rationalizing a lot.

Go figure.
