Any book that says selling your children, stoning people to death for having sex with someone of the same gender etc is good should be openly ridiculed and anyone truly believing such nonsense too.

If it was written by men over a period of hundreds of years it can be re-written by men.

Ok then.

Ignore my previous comments, as they were from the misunderstanding you were with the "respect religion" crew. If that's your stance, there's no confusion on my end.

I have the upmost respect for faith and even some religions but to use a clearly man made book and man made and frankly hateful doctrines as the only basis of an expression of the divine will of a God who may deserve worship but not going by certain items of scripture attributed to Him is something that can't be respected.

The Society Of Friends acknowledge that the Bible was written by men and take personal revelation to be more important than scriptural teaching. Now they I have a lot of respect and time for.
