I KNOW that God doesn't hate me so that I'm condemned to HELL for just being born. I know that its a metaphor. I also know that God is love of a kind that human beings cannot even explain it much less feel it themselves. It is what I work towards every day. Tolerance and love for people who are in bad shape, lost, and afraid.
My rant on this forum has to do with people making such a todo about being RIGHT. None of us are RIGHT. None of us are WRONG. But many of the people posting on this and other Christian forums do so out of false pride and arrogance as if THEY have the only KNOWLEDGE of Christ.
I wonder how many women post on this forum because the support of the literal words stinks of mysogany just as much NOW as it did when the books fo the Bible were chosen to frame the foundation of Christianity. Somewhere along the way something was lost. LOVE was lost it seems.
