Reply #50: Yes, I did take the test back when it was in the news... [View All]

I did it with a couple of friends who are hard core Christians & the results were frankly SAD...I scored leaps & bounds higher than they did & they just laughed it off & repeated the old crap about it does not matter how well they know the Bible as long as they have Christ in their heart...Or some crap like that.

The sad fact is most Priest, Preachers, Chaplains, etc., have been to seminary school & know the evils, the contradictions, the anything but divine history of how the Bible came to be the collection of books it is today, etc., but they would NEVER permit such stuff to be taught in their congregation's Sunday School classes & would NEVER preach it from the pulpit...And this is why most "Christians" don't know these things actually exist!

Those who do know some of what is in there block it out & if you point it out to them they will accuse you of taking the verse out of context or that "only if you ask Christ into your will you truly understand the deeper meaning of the Bible"...They are so emotionally attached to the Bible it is like telling a mother her child is a brat they will never see it!!

I honestly feel deep sorrow for many people who call themselves "Christians" because they have allowed themselves to block themselves off from the true beauty meaning of what it is to be a human being...However, my deep sorrow quickly evaporates knowing most use their religion to hurt others & slow the progress needed in this fast past world we live in...That or they are easily used by the wealthy to vote in favor of hurting others, including themselves financially, & blocking the needed changes we need to protect our environment as science say we need to do! Frankly the stupidity disgust me!

Nice to meet you! :hi:
