Those aren't bible believers, Harry. Please don't bunch me and
millions more into that same group.

It really doesn't look good upon you.

Who decides who is or who is not a "bible believer"?

Certainly not them, and for someone who doesn't believe in the Bible,
but picks and chooses what they want to condemn the scripture, I truly
doubt you're really qualified either.

Well, that doesn't answer the question, does it?

Oh, an aside.

I don't "condemn" what you call "scripture," which is, after all,
nothing more than what religious believers of any faith think is
"sacred," or even central to their faith. To the extent that "scripture"
instructs mankind to "do good," "help others," "judge not," et cetera,
it is a positive influence. When "scripture" is used to justify hate,
exclusion, selfishness, wrath, et cetera, it is a negative influence.

Unfortunately, there's plenty in "scripture" that can be interpreted or
misinterpreted hundreds of different ways, some good, some not so good,
and too often the "not so good" is used as a rationale for aberrant,
anti-social behavior.

There's no need to cite examples...I'm sure you know exactly what I
mean. And there's no shortage of bible believers who use the bad as
their credo.

And who is a bible believer? An accurate answer would be "anyone who
says he or she is."

Harry asks the strange question

And then he answers himself.

It would be great if you carried on your conversations with yourself via
email instead of polluting the cyberworld. SNERK!

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,

so evidently you're a bible believer too.

If only you were really skilled in something, little ****...you've got
the idiot part down pat...you could evolve into an idiot savant. But
there is just nothing you do well.

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.
