The Bible - Best Selling Book of All Time?
Have you ever noticed how, if you are so inclined (I hear the pages make great rolling paper), you can acquire a bible for free?

Yes, there are various specialty bibles you do actually have to pay for, but it's the same words (WARNING: Translations may vary from minor to complete…See More

My buddy posted this to his FB. He's an Asatru, but a pretty reasonable thiest, and he makes a great point!Btw, the link at the end is from Charlie the Unicorn :P
"You should read the Star Carrier series by Ian Douglas. It depicts a future where society lives in 'group marraiges' and being monogamous is considered archaic at best, preverse at worst (Monogie and Prim [as in primitive] are…"

- Why are you here?
- I appreciate the views of critical thinkers and support the fight against those who would cheapen humanity.
- The religion you left
- Christian
- Why you left your religion.
- I've slowly phased myself out of Christianity over the last decade because I am tolerant enough to accept anyone regardless of their beliefs. The idea of God isn't bad, religion on the other hand... I came to the conclusion that most religions have the same basic rules of morality thus the differences and violence in some cases are based on semantics. This site promoted my shift from open thinking Agnostic to Athiest.
