[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jubilee McGann: [QB] And I think we can all agree that those who kill other people in the name of "God" are not really "Godly". God never said "Go forth and fry all people not like you". WE INTERPRETED him to say those things. Listen, anyone can take any verse in the Bible and twist it around to their own benefit. THAT is the problem. People who want to smoke Marijuana can say that God created every herb in the Garden to be used.... but that doesn't meant that God is "Allowing" someone to smoke an illegal substance.... it just means that someone misinterpreted the Bible. And that's the problem here..... no matter how you slice it, WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT GOD WAS SAYING. We never will. We weren't there back then, we don't know what happened, and we sure as hell don't know what's happening now. I'm sure God's up there shaking his head at everyone who misinterpreted him and is probably addicted to mylanta and tylenol by now from all the headaches and heartburn we're causing him. (that was a JOKE, okay?)..... There's seriously no good explanation for Good, and Evil. Theres no good explanation for anything, but there are MANY ways of looking at a problem, and I think each culture had thier own way of solving it. I think every religion was created by a society who NEEDED something to explain things. An all-powerful diety fighting against a just as powerful evil thing works pretty well for that. And it had to be something that you couldn't see, because they could see no reason for it .... so they had to create one. Necessity is the mother of invention? ... [/QB][/QUOTE]
