Even if you say I am none of those things.....when we find people like that....religious text are so notoriously ambiguous that when the SAME text is read by 5 different scholards, you get 5 different interpretations.....do you not see the danger in that? Who is qualified to make that assessment....or do we each make it for ourselves?
For instance I would LOVE to know how you decided that wife beating is outdated, but pork eating or homosexuality is not!
Stay safe all.
Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
