You can interpret scripture incorrectly,
if you use only selected verses, and ignore others
Then I assume a good Christian would never own a mule or polyester-blend fabrics because of prohibitions in Leviticus, cut their hair, grow more than one crop in a field or do any of the other asinine stuff that is prohibited in the bible. Now lots of the stuff in the bible is reasonable, like most of the 10 Commandments, but there is a lot of silly, silly superstitious stuff.
If the supreme Cosmic Force gave a hoot about your interpretation or mine or Solon's, Christians would have a statistically low incidence of suicide, murder, robbery and house fires. The fact is NOT ONE BIT of evidence shows that God, Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha or anyone else is out there changing the odds.
The common response is that God doesn't work that way. Now if you believe what I say, I say YOU can change your odds. You can do something that God apparently can't or won't do for you. |
