I'm glad you brought that up, Harry. It's fascinating that you never
or should I say 'rarely, point out any of the good of the Bible, yet
are quick to choose it's verses that you interpret to be nothing but
blood, bigotry, hatefulness, incest, anti-science, slavery, down on
women and the like. Then, it shows everyone here that is what you feel
the Bible stands for,

People use their own judgement to decide what the good parts are and
reject or rationalize away the parts they don't agree with. It is not a
big leap to realize that we are capable of deciding what is good on our
own based on real world consequences.

All sorts of horrific behavior has been "justified" by bible readings.

justified? Well, I suppose it depends on how you want to look at it,
eh?



Many of those who do "evil" claim they find their justification in the
bible. Of course, they think they are doing what the bible tells them to
do.
