The whole point of that post must have gone over your head then.
You are now defending the idea that one can pick and choose from their source of religion and still consider themselves to be following the true ideas of that faith. Hell I might as well pick out all the parts that justify slavery and women as being property and call myself Christian because I follow the teachings of the Bible, yet I would not have to follow any of the rules that I see no need for.
The Message I was trying to point out is that people do not follow any true faith. They create their own from the bits and pieces they wish to follow and then throw the rest away. If one claims the Bible to be the word of God then one needs to treat it as such and be consistent with what one believes. You can not take one verse and say that is fact, but then claim that the next verse should not be considered important. Just by doing that you are discrediting the Bible as you try to defend it and that does not show nay true belief.
My next post will show some of this great logic once more.

Don't disparage the belief of others
How could you possibly begin to know what others believe and if they truly do believe? My faith is more real than the things I see, hear, and feel around me. Don't expect you to understand but why can't you accept that it's true for some?

it's like the caterpillar
shedding the old crysalis to become something new.
I think that is what is happening now.

If God in His foreknowledge decided that at some point He would try to convince me that He is insane, then I think I can see through that one. It is more likely the result of computer error.

So True
Kooka, I think you have hit the nail on the head.
Having been brought up in a Catholic family, I rejected religion at age 11, as there were too many differences between what the church stated as truth in the bible, and the way they used those scriptures in their lives.
I am still a spiritually minded person, and find God in most things.
Seems the only place I can't find God is in religion.
