You're a reasonble fellow,... with my respect always. I find (personally,.. not speaking for all Christians), that many anti-theist of christianity, seem to cherry pick verses that discredit Gods love,... such as scripture (usually) from the old testament, rather than the bible as a whole. I can't deny the wisdom I have found in the bible myself. And it also saved me from going down a wrong path. It was my own study,.. not anyone elses that helped me. If the Boble can have such a positive influence,.. and it does for well over a billion people,... isn't that a good thing?
