R2: Jeanie: Not following??????????????? I guess cause I don't see things the way you do as I've stated.

That’s probably it. It always feels to me that bible believers only believe bits and pieces. They accept that it’s good to ‘do unto others’ and the like but they don’t think it’s a good idea to stone disobedient children to death at the city gates or sacrifice your virgin daughter as payment for a battle victory yet the bible also contains these ideas. It’s those other messages in the bible, and the bible’s full of them, the ignored messages that I have a problem with and I can’t see how anyone can be comfortable with a book that propagates such horrible, crewel and immoral ideas even if it also has some really good, intelligent, moral ideas in it too. Why not look for a book that leaves out the bad stuff? A book you don’t have to be so selective and apologetic about all the time. And how about looking for a moral guide that is aware of what our world is like today and not 2000+ years out of date?


Jeanie: Well, it just so happens..... I think you would find the Book of Mormon quite different. For one thing, it was written specifically for our day even though written back in the same time as the Bible. It contains the same Gospel, but has only been translated once and has the "plainness of the Gospel" which explains or puts things in clearer easier to understand writing. It also clarifies the Bible. If you go to www.mormon.org you can order a free one. It's possible missionaries will deliver it, but you don't have to get that involved if you don't want, but they may be able to answer some of your questions. The key is to read it and pray about it with an open heart whether it be true. Anyway, you should order one. Nothing to lose. And I'll make you a deal...I'll read something of yours if you read mine : )

How would you propose we deal with population control?

I'm trying to picture you talking...I like the accents. Is Ozzy Osborne from there??
