[QUOTE="ignerntbend, post: 2658388, member: 6981"] An outsider could look at the Bible and easily conclude that the Christians are a genicidal people putting every man and woman to the sword and dashing their little ones against the rocks. Those of us who come from the Baptist tradition explain away the parts of the Old Testament that seem inappropriate. We don't want outsiders telling us what we believe because Jesus brought a new covenent. Then again he came not to undermine the law but to fulfill it. So who decides when the Old Testament matters and when it doesn't? We do. We can read the Pam Geller's Cliff's Note's Koran and tell the heathen what they believe based on their book. Nobody can tell us what we believe, though. [/QUOTE]
