I know that's right sista! People want to discredit Chrisitanity and not Christians. Christianity is what is and if Christians don't follow Christianity accurately or are hypocrital at times, that doesn't mean Christianity is backwards. But luckily I can be a hypocrite or do wrong and still have a loving, forgiving God. Critisize CHRISTIANS not the Christian faith.

He's more critical of the text of the faith and/or the history of the faith; which is well documented. One must wonder, if it is this easy to punch holes in Christianity from whether or not Christ exists, to why Jews don't believe the Messiah has come, to the startling similaraties between the Christ story and other ancient stories; then are we truly getting the WHOLE story? Or even the RIGHT story for that matter. The King James BIBLE presents God as a misogynist. How many women sit well with that? Is that correct? Yes, the King James BIBLE is a great text, historically, poetically, and metaphorically. But one has to wonder if the full truth is being told.

Thunder, I'd already arrived at my conclusions before considering your opinions. However, you did present an argument I'd never heard before. I research, and seek the truth; usually by combining things to arrive at an ultimate truth. In mathematics, we call that a proof. And I always loved geometry. LOL

For clarification, a lot of yall think that a perfect Christian is perfect and does no wrong. A Christian isn't going to be perfect and God doesn't expect us to be. When you are a Christian, that's you do the most wrong cause the devil is really getting at you because you are for Christ. Some people need to actually read the Bible and reseach before making judgements on something they know little about. That's like me discussng the subject of a novel that I haven't read; I would look ignorant and obvious that I haven't read it.

I must concur............ I am for Christ and I be TRYIN to do right, but like Paul said "evil is ever around me" so it's HARD for me to do the right thing ALL the time............ like, I do a LOT right, but i do MORE wrong......... and daily i try to correct that............... but u see, the difference between us and thunder is we walk by faith and not y sight...... this is very important if you're going to be ANYTHING (christian, muslim, hindu) for all you know, EVERYONE could be lying........ now, tru, there are some books missing from the Bible, and they find a few more every once in a while.......... and if u read te Bible.............. it all fits when u get the next few books............ Mary M...... had her own book.......... my mom is in the course of reading it now............. and, i don't "poke fun" at the Bible, ecause I've been thru TOO MUCH, where it has been my ONLY safety, the ONLY thing keeping me from not opening up a can of whoop ****, or driving my car off a cliff............. and while I am NOT the "model" christian every1 wants me to be.......... I believe in the Bible, and all it stands for....... because to this DAY................... it holds true to everything that has been promised to me....... so, don't believe it if u want to, but don't criticize something u NEVER gave 100%

Oh I agree completely. . but I do believe that the King James version falls within that sight (reading) category.

Well I wasn't referring to him persay, but while we are were on the subject I wanted to get that out. A lot of Christian naysayers don't realize their views are because of the people who follow the religion and not the religion itself. For some reason, Christianity has become a joke to some people, whether it be media or messageboards and I don't know about anyone else, but I find it totally disrespectful. I don't hear people disrespectng Judiasm or Hinduism as much. To me it's the same feeling as when someone doubts me because of my race. ***I'm not referring the author of this post, keep your crunk level to a minimum; it's just a general comment while we were on the subject.
