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