Another reason I don

[Mad Dog]

These are the two ideas that make me dislike American/European religions so much. If God exists he has never spoken to anyone one Earth, especially the people in the bible stories. The bible is a fairytale book written by some men who wanted everyone to live their way. I admit, there are some good morals in the bible, but the rest is so full of pure bullcrap that you can tell they tried too hard. God doesn't tell people what to do, they either are so deep into their religion that they see and misunderstand things around them and interperate things in a way that can be incorporated into their beliefs, or they're insane. People who have talked to God are liers and use it as an excuse to get everyone to believe things their way.

As for the second sentence, doesn't the bible say something about love thy neighbor and to forgive everyone? This is something a slim amount of religious fanatics do. Preaching against gays is probably the most well known example. If you followed "the word of God" then you would let them live in sin and trust God to deal with them in the end. Apparently it's ok to pick and choose what parts of the bible you like and then look down on others who don't buy into it. Not all people who believe in God acts this way, but there are way too many. It just makes no sense to me.
