Quoted from Jane

Please, read the Old Testament.

I will... As soon as someone can prove to me that it really is God's word...

Quoted from Jane

And don`t forget about Sodom and Gomorrah.

What's that all about then?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's a biblical story about two cities (Sodom and Gomorrah) that were destroyed by God, one of the theories is that He did that because some of the inhabitants were homosexual.

I like the bit where Lots wife turns into a piller of salt , it's very Clash Of The Titans .

"Sodom and Gomorrah" is also the title of an old Village People song:

I know, I wanted to hear Jane's interpretation. Ridiculous story by the way.

It can be taken as an early exhortation to cut down on one's salt intake as well, all depends on one's perspective.

I think everyone's allowed to believe whatever he wants, but yeah... I think we must realize that the Old Testament was written in a time when we didn't have any knowledge yet about what causes earthquakes, hurricans, thunder, lightning, floods, volcano eruptions, solar eclipses... I think that a lot of things that were seen as miracles 2000-3000 years ago could easily be explained nowadays... Again, not telling anyone what or what not to believe, I just think everyone should keep an open and critical mind... Consider all the options... And don't just blindly accept anything just because it's been passed on for generations.

Dude, that's why the call it faith. And more power to those who have it. But it seems we're still missing the point about the Old Testament in relation to The New Testament. But oh well. One does try.

I'll second that: but I think the effect of most systems of religious beliefs- and religious texts- has been to shut down precisely that approach.
