The bible has been used for hundreds of years to persecute people. If you look at history the most popular use of the bible and associated teachings has been to oppress and control people. Any modern interpretation of the bible surely overlooks that for hundreds of years the very same words have been often used to justify the most heinous of deeds. Indeed many Christians from hundreds of years ago could have fully supported their arguments for burning people suspected of being a witch at the steak with quotes from the bible and assocaited christian teachings.


Lies, lies all lies.

Gimme a break Dramnek. Try reading the thing before attempting to diss it. Cancel each other my Jesus alone fulfilled over 100 prophecies from the old testament.
