The founding fathers of America based a lot of the laws of this country as well as the constitution on The Bible.
I'm not saying you should be a Christian, even though it wouldn't be terribly bad for you. However you may want to have a little less venom in your thoughts when it comes to thinking of Christianity this way.  |
You're referring to some candy-coated version of christianity... Real Christianity has a long and bloody past, full of violence, intolerance, hate, while gaining converts at the tip of a sword.
The fact is, Jesus said that anyone who doesn't *hate* his mother, father, brother, & sister cannot be his disciple (Luke 14:26) ... It's not my fault most preachers glaze over this verse, or attempt to explain it away.
