Personally I'm a Roman Catholic but in saying that i don't agree with everything they teach. For instance I don't like how they selectively give their narrow interpretations of words to denounce something as bad i.e. homosexuality (seeing as it's relevant here).
I mean in Genesis in the destruction of Sodom (Sodomy geddit?) practically states that homosexuality and man on man action is wrong. what you may not know is that Lot also offered his daughter's to be raped in the city and subsequently his daughters get him drunk in a cave and have sex with him because they think they are the only people left alive. So along with condemning homosexuality the bible would also seem to be encouraging you to offer your daughters for rape if need be and a bit of incest never did any harm?
Oddly i don't hear this from the church so i'll take it that homosexuality isn't wrong either. It never mentions actual love between men or good homosexuals. It generalises everyone as bad, And bible bashers. Loving an "excuse" to had minorities jump on it.
So i believe that the bible is a guideline of how to live. I mean I like that the church has good mantras and ideas such as love hty neighbour, help the poor et cetera but God has given me free will to be able to think for myself and not follow everything I'm told. I mean what makes my interpretation of it any less true than someone elses. My beliefs are flexible but I like Religion for its value on human life and its encouragement of the good values of humanity.
Just don't take it all at face value. God gives a brain for a reason
Only God is perfect, and the church isn't God. It's the PR company.
