NC Baptist Church has it all figured out. So much for christian tolerance.

Well, he does have some actual "heretics" (or at least hypocrites) in that list of his...

om nom nom nom nom!!

nom?

Personally, I would eat baked chicken. Fried chicken is too fattening and artery-clogging.

Actually that friend chicken sounds yummy! (my arteries are cracking just thinking about it, lol)
Yeah, i like the King James version too....just i guess except for that little part about...what was it? Parting the heavens or something?? Oh well, you gotta know if humans have anything to do with something, chances are good they're gonna muck it up.

The Jefferson Bible, I would have to say, is the best version.

What a freaking idiot, or should I say idiots because you got the lunatic who says stuff like this and the morons that follow him.

Well, there's your typical "tolerant" liberal folks. Thanks for that lovely comment ratilfarts. Stupid as always. I don't claim to be tolerant, so suck it.

And Bartender, you have a lot of nerve moaning about "Christian tolerance." You wouldn't know "tolerant" if you blindsided you on the expressway. Why don't you moan for us next time a Muslim sets his kids on fire. Wishful thinking, huh.

Nice belch of Limbaugh-esque bullshit and propaganda, there, Clip-on-tie. One might actually start to think you have more than just a spinal cord, allowing you to CTRL+C and CTRL+V the comments of Right-Wing Nutjobs.

As for versions of the bible, I have found the New International Version to be the best.

I have the good fortune to have a friend who can read New Testament Greek and can go to editions of the earliest manuscripts and translate them for himself. He was raised by deeply fundie parents but outgrew it. For a long time now he's been working on his own exposition on biblical apocalyptics compared to other world mythologies.

Your grasp of the obvious is non-existent, clip. I'm not moaning about it, just calling a spade a spade. You can hate on your christian brothers all you want. I think it's hilarious.

Bear, Christians have no tolerance. I'm willing to bet that, throughout history, more Christians have been persecuted and killed by other Christians than by non-Christians (the Thirty Years' War, for instance). When a bunch of Christians decide they hate all their fellow Christians, they pick up their marbles and go off and start their own sect. If they get too big, they get branded as heretics and marked for extermination.

One of the reasons the US Constitution avoided establishing a federal religion was because the Baptists didn't want filty Methodism to take over (and vice versa) and heaven forbit the Catholics get the franchise! If the colonial Christians hadn't hated each others' juts, we might have ended up with a state religion.

typo: "juts" = "guts"

You know, this town is in the heart of Appalachia and also where I live. It's amazing how often this rather obscure county (Haywood) makes the national news. A few years ago we had a mass walk-out in a Waynesville baptist church when the preacher said that anyone voting Democrat was going to hell and no longer welcome in "his" church (both Dems and Repubs walked out on that one). I think he got fired. And then there was a "sex-slave" ring involving a bunch of guys who voluntarily underwent emasculation (as in physical removal) at the hands of the "Master". They are still around. See them all the time in the local stores and what-not. We're small but spunky, I suppose.

Christians have nothing but tolerance; religious people do not. Beware the use of false labels, Jorjor. People like the whackjob in the clip are no Christians, even though they falsely use the label.
