That Old Testament is just chalked full of great ideas.

First, we're no longer under the Old Testament.

Second, your complaint isn't with me. It's with God. He wrote it.

Up to interpretation.

Funny comments. Sounds like a bunch of folks whistling past the graveyard hoping they made the right choice.

The odds are 2 to 1 in my favor. If God exists, Christians are ok. If He doesn't exist, they're still ok.

Those who mock God? If He doesn't exist, they're ok. If He does exist, well, the odds are 2 to 1 in my favor.

Now that's a reason to believe right there. CYA. Always CYA.

I hold to an opinion. I can't say I like being lumped in with a dark aged mentality which purpose was the perpetuation and preservation of Catholic orthodoxy. The Inquisition was not Christian. Christ never endorsed, nor allowed, the torture and murder of those with whom He disagreed. He simply gave them a choice. He did not even try to defend Himself when He was tortured and murdered, other than a mild rebuke in John 18.



As a Christian, I believe the Bible to be the final word in all matters of faith and doctrine. And the Bible has a great deal to say re the above referenced subjects. That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying to torture and murder those who disagree. That's what your allusion implies.

First, we're no longer under the Old Testament.

I have no problem with you or your faith, but you did quote the old testament so it clearly does still have a place in this discussion (and by continuation, the contradictions that accompany people quoting it to justify many positions).

I'll also point out while it may be the "word of God", the Bible was most certainly written and assembled by man. I have yet to see a Bible that wasn't heavily influenced by the politics of the Church. If you know of one (and i'm being honest here), please point me towards it.

Back to the original topic, anyone who things that uniforms are the path to socialism must be kidding. As someone who wore uniforms for 15 years i can assure you that kids always find a way to express themselves.

I'd submit that if God exists, those who call themselves Christians are going to be in for a big surprise some day.
