Doesnt it worry you that something you regard as the word of god can be interpreted so widely? (I'm presuming you believe the bible is inerrant) I think the biggest problem facing someone who claims the bible is of divine origin, is explaining how it is different from any other holy book given there are so many differing interpretations.

No, but I wouldnt say the meaning one can ascribe to the bible is completely unrestrained - just permissive.

I was surprised by this thread in two areas.--
- pride in the ignorant being attracted to a work.
- pride in the 'roll your own god' use of the bible.
whatever you need it to mean, it's there for you.

The two aspects of christianity that atheists take heat for pointing out.

I dont know if you mean me, Splendour or the article she linked. If me, I'm not particularly proud of either of these things - I think it's a problem any theist has who asks to have their view of god taken as true.

It was splendour. With this as the coup de grace - [ QUOTE ]
It'll be interesting to see the new and diverse ways in which they interpret the Gospel for themselves.

[/ QUOTE ]

From somebody who links to bible quotes almost exclusively to 'prove' different claims, it renders all those links useless once it's admitted we're all merely "interpret the Gospel for themselves". ( which, again, is a main atheist complaint also).
