The war on faith.

I agree it wasn't so bad for the time. In fact, "an eye for an eye" was pretty lenient then.

But some people still try to apply those laws in the current time. I think we understand each others' viewpoints enough now that there's no further point here. I think religion does more harm than good, you think it does more good than harm. I think there's evidence to support both positions, but am very firm in my own convictions on the issue.

Well, I just spent a few hours going thru the SAB site.

I went thru each book of the OT and the NT, just looking at the references annoted as "Intolerance" and "Cruelty and violence".

How can any one who has read the bible, give it any moral significance, is beyond me!
