Alan,

It is ridiculous for you to say for me that I do not believe in the Bible. Simply because I interpret it differently you claim that I do not believe. God forbid anyone should have an interpretation that includes everything in love and harmony. You are right, that is blasphemy. Far better to preach a belief in Satan, fear, guilt, and sin.

It is amazing how much you know for one who admits to not even reading much of the Bible. Your ears are deaf to the words of the very book whose interpretation of you are trying to defend sight unseen.

It does not surprise me that there are those who would judge and condemn others without knowing, that's exactly what was done to Jesus. Jesus preached a new way of life based upon life, love and perfection, and not fear, guilt, sin, and death. You call the people who would follow his instructions conceited, and you consider it blessed to revel in his blood, and hold a belief in sin and death. I took a cursory glance at those webpages, and it amazes me that you find them warped compared to your interpretation.

You would call life and love blasphemy, and instead keep insisting upon the importance of sin, evil, and death. That is not conceited, merely tragic. I do not say you do not believe in the Bible, I simply say that you have picked all the wrong messages within it in which to believe.

You create your own world with what you believe. If what you believe makes you happy, then I'm glad for you. But it is absoultely ridiculous to call those who preach love and life blasphemous. Those you say blaspheme speak of those things most Holy, while you seem to be fixated upon the relics of evil and death.

Peace,
Darrin
