I want to make a few comments (maybe several) not to attack anyone, but because some things bring to mind what I heard at church a few days ago about Christianity being under attack.

Grandpa used to say that we should not debate about Christian scriptures because it's a debate you can't win, because it's based on faith and not on proof.

Now, me. Everyone believes in something, even if it's only whether or not a chair is going to hold them if they sit in it. That said, everyone has a right to believe whatever they want to believe.

Similarly, everyone has a right to not believe what they do not want to believe. No one has the right to impose their possibly "uninformed requirements and beliefs" upon others....That is the reason I never allowed my child to sit on a mourner's bench.

Five (5) things:
1. Everyone who claims to be a Christian is not a Christian, and it's not fair to boil all professing persons in the same pot of soup.

2. Everything that is written in the scriptures is not to be taken literally, but you can have a difficult time convincing some people of that fact.

3. Some people might quote scriptures because they think it makes them look good and influences others to believe that they are godly persons who are to be believed under all circumstances. Don't!

4. Some scripture quoters don't even know the true meaning of the scriptures they are quoting or how if at all should it to be applied today.

5. Don't be upset. Vote.
