You show a real lack of understanding with your comments. Perhaps the single biggest lesson to learn from The Bible is that human beings are incredibly flawed and we all make mistakes. It's why Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross.

Pointing out that people who wave a certain flag are flawed doesn't discredit an entire belief structure. It discredits you for not seeing the error in your ways.

lol if you think the core message of the bible is some reductionist, new-agey "humans are flawed and we all make mistakes" you're the one who lacks understanding.

So what you've done is selected a particular biblical theme, said "that's what the bible means", matched it to American culture, and thrown out all the other stuff Jesus said and did.

And yes, it discredits their belief structure when they profess to believe one thing (Jesus' words, actions and teachings), but actually believe something entirely different (Modern American Christianity).

So maybe you can't read, which seems odd for someone who plays Everquest. When I said perhaps one of the biggest lessons, you seem to have read "This is all lessons of the bible in one theme". But you see I said that it was perhaps the biggest and most important lesson. That does not mean that it is the only lesson, nor that it is the only important one. Try and read things with some assumption that you don't know everything there is to know, I know it will be tough since you're such a rational creature.

Please share your summary of what the Bible means for all of us to bask in your wisdom.
