The point, Nash, is that as much as your wriggle, wrangle, twist, turn and apologize, your bible is a flawed tool for your kinder, gentler religion that you claim. It is clearly wrought with pride, envy, lust, murder, rape and pillage committed by or approved of by God himself.

If you don't believe in theology, then why debate it? My personal theoligical views are of no consequence to you since you throw it all out the window. So why debate the details of my beliefs if you disagree with any possibility?
