The Bible, how can one take it as a serious moral guide for it is full of contradictions or is it a case of pick your route of understanding and apply it to how you want to live. Whatever route of understanding one takes, then is it a case of you believe this, then you must believe that and there act and the idiots in society act.
You know with the influx of Muslims into the western world, in Britain at least the Muslim Council claims it wants Sharia law to govern muslims in this country, that before the law of the land, the law the rest of us have to follow, this is wrong, dead wrong, whoever comes to live in a country must obey the laws of the land before any religious law and that goes for those who follow a Christian faith as well.
To act against the law of the land makes one a criminal so with literature being created to name and shame people who act against a religious scripture, is inciting violence, those people are criminals and should be treated as such, not religious people as they claim, for what they do in following their faith comes second to the law of the land.
To remember laws are created for the protection of all, therefore everyone is subject to them all irrespective of their individual religious belief, for that takes second place.
But this religious thing, I know full well the great majority of people who follow a faith are law abiding decent people and can see what is right and what is wrong, but there are always some who use the excuse of a believed faith to justify their own homicidal instincts, perhaps the true antagonists and killers in society, the ones put there by nature to force the rest of us to be aware and create laws to guard against them.
Perhaps the time will hopefully come when we can recognise these writings from the past are what keeps us in the past in terms of evolution, for as our body and mind evolves, our morals get left behind in the words of the person that wrote them. As to the word of God, Allah, Yahwey whoever or whatever, interpretation is the key and with that the game of Chinese Whispers. We know inside ourselves what is right and what is wrong, we don't need writings from the past to tell us what we should feel.
