Not surprisingly your statement holds water, but not for all religion. That statement doesn't fit true Christianity, for instance. I'm going to say it time and time again. The Crusades for instance, or the witch burnings, were not from Jesus Christ. They said they were, but Jesus did not support those times. His message was against hate, pain, death, war, and selfishness--All of those apply to those times. Those times should not, and do not, dictate who we are today and more importantly, who Jesus Christ is. Christianity has no rules, or boundries, or lines. Only that you accept Jesus into your life (Thats a real tough one.), and that you live for him. Thats not wearing a suit and a tie, and damning everyone within arm's reach. Thats being a good person for Christ, following his will (You'll know it when you hear it at times.), staying away from lusts, and violence, and sin best you can, but also being yourself in Christ. I'm Glenn, and I'm not a nice guy a times. So? Jesus loves me, and everyone. And he still chose to save me. I be myself, but I also stick to the principles I follow. Be nice, don't back talk, and just don't be an idiot. I'm not wearing the cloth and doing six hail Mary's a day, and I'm not shunning those who don't believe. Did Jesus not talk with prostitutes, murderers (He even saved them. Even while he was dying, on the cross!), and tax collectors? (The most hated people back then.) Jesus welcomed everyone. He didn't abide by some dictator-esque rules. All he did was preach, pray, and worship. What I'm saying is, don't get the rules man set down mixed up by the ones God sets down. You might hate the Bible, say its crap, but thats the best place to look if you want to find /God's/ rules, and his lessons and Word. Not the people that say you go to Hell for watching pokemon.
