And the point is....What? That the Bible should be completely disavowed because there are things in it we find abhorrent today? I really wish you guys would lay off a bit. And this is not directed solely at you, cosmic.

Yep. We've discussed all those things. I made it clear to Neo, as well, that racism was common to most textual supports in many religions. I wanted to deflect from any sense of singling out any one religion; but he would not leave it alone. The disquieting thing, however, is the prevalence of it in modern religions. They draw upon ancient textual supports, and use it for their own racist agendas. Very sad to see. But why do people have the urge to find religious support for racial hate in the first place? stop-the-hate.org Here is an attempt to explain how it fulfills a genetic need to preserve the gene pool of various distinct groups. Does it make sense to you? atheists.org
