When I was little, my old man told me not to believe everything i read. ( Of course, he was happy if I read the back of a cereal box) I've read the bible and, of course, I dont believe everything that's in there. Lots of 4th 5th 10th ect. hand stuff. However, the general message is all good, IMO . I also believe that catagorizing religion as "cults" isn't too far off the mark, in all candor. Not all cults are bad, however. Islam does seem to have some rather derogatory ( violent) references to non-believers. ( shivers) But I'm sure there are similar passages in the bible. My thing with religion is that so many millions of people have died because of it over the centuries. Think we can all agree on that. The fanatics give it a bad rep. Not all fanatics are bad, though. I am a die-hard Detroit Lions fan.
