Stop sugarcoating the Bible. →

Interesting article from CNN, I agree with a lot of what is said here.
Great read!
I agree that we should read the bible exactly as it was written, but not because there is a god who cares one way or another but because people should see how disturbing it is.
The writer makes the argument that we should not edit or soften the horror and crassness of the...

Pope Immorally Condemns “Artificial Fertility” →
religiousragings:
The Pope belies his church’s “pro life” posturing in his recent condemnation of “artificial fertility,” by which he means any medically assisted pregnancy not involving a “conjugal act” between husband and wife. Thus, the AP summarizes, the Pope condemns “sperm or egg donation and methods such as in vitro fertilization.”

How does evolution “cancel out” the creation account in Genesis? This seems to me a blank assertion, and so I don’t see how the conclusion that Adam didn’t exist follows.
The Bible is composed of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. ‘Light’ doesn’t always mean “one extreme of the electromagnetic spectrum.” That’s not what Jesus was saying about himself when he...

religiousragings:
…but I sometimes think that we lose site of this. Simply eliminating the Bible as a source of authority is important, but not enough.
The ideas, the hatreds, the thinking that gave rise to the kind of thinking found in the Bible are still very much alive and well in today’s age.
There IS no valid reason to be against gay marriage. There never really was. Homophobia exists...
