>> "Where you have mistaken is believing what "they" are saying is what is actually being taught in the Bible." <<

Who is "they"?

>> "This cannot be further from the truth." <<

This will make more sense if I know who "they" are.

>> "This is why so many logically minded people turn away from "Christianity." <<

Do they?

>> "Their contradictions are obvious. So obvious you must be blinded to believe why "they" say." <<

Who is "their" and what does "why "they" say" mean in this context?

>> "Or really unable to think for yourself." <<

are you referring to me here? If so, you do not know me very well... I am very spiritual... and very strong in my beliefs... that do not seem to fit into any specific mold.

>> "Which is the problem with the majority of said "Christians."" <<

What is the problem with the majority of Christians? that they do not think for themselves? If so, I would agree with that; services are mindless zombies, half asleep, half hung over from the Saturday night parties, droning on and repeating any one of a 1,000 specific versions of Christianity's doctrine.

I am not condemning them... but religion is much more than that... it is respect for all things.

>> "Instead of dismissing the Bible and Christ altogether, dismiss all the false teachings" <<

Did I dismiss the Bible? I do not think so, though, I do see it differently than most...

Warts and all, mistranslations and all it is simply...

An instruction manual on how best to eat and live... an account of man's rise and fall over several cycles in the past... along with instructions on how to avoid the pitfalls of those cycles, which we have obviously blatantly ignored by the looks of things; most likely due to politically manipulated religious teachings.
