I do not hate it..promise Now when we are talking about Rule's and lifestyle's people live their life by, I can honestly say I live as a "christian" would..I in fact have been a christian majority of my life. I can say I probaly live better then most that consider themselves religious. (i mean morals, respect-nothing materialistic or to that degree) I'm the chick at the homeless shelter on christmas eve helping get people fed, rather then the people sitting at home drinking egg-nog and singing christmas carols with their families. I care about people, animals, nature..I come by it HONESTLY thats just how i have been wired..before i was ever christian, and after i decided christianity wasn't for me. I never needed religion, god, jesus anyone/thing to tell me how to be a good caring self-less person. THIS IS A BOLD STATEMENT BUT..How the god of the O.T is perceived by his own word's (if in fact it is his word's) I live better then he exspects me to live and he perceives himself as a jealous, vindictive, murderous villian in that bible that gonna wipe out everyone. Why would such a powerful god have petty silly human type emotions? Even humans can get over those type's of emotion's..So whats his excuse? Is he afraid we won't bow down? Not only the principles of the pettiness i find throughout religions but on this jesus subject. We hear about him when he's an infant, then he comes back as 30 and all we know about him is from what this saul/paul guy say's decades later! talk about hear say...If god reincarnated into flesh, or had a son by a virgin and roamed around changing the word of god..shouldn't we have kept a better eye on him?
