Accepting there are bad and good parts of the Bible is a start.

Denouncing the bad is the best praise one can give to the good.

Amputation is probably the best treatment.

It's hard to find something to mock about the words attributed to Jesus.

This is why Life Of Brian never bothered.

The frame around the character of Jesus makes you want to hug him all the more.

He is inside this hateful culture born from a hateful God and yet he defends the oppressed and heals the sick and gets persecuted for it (I'm sure He wouldn't like being said to have a persecution complex) and never says anything bad about gays. Not once.

I like weird stories, I'm a Doctor Who fan so I have to like them but do I hold stories sacred over people?

I don't mock religions to defend just me if it were just me I would live in a cave far away from the internet.

I hardly have contact with people including sexual contact, as it is so dropping the internet would be easy for me

I can't stand by and have the thing that has marked me out for persecution compared to the thing used by people to mark me out for persecution.

Because I know it's not just me. I had it easy.

If your family and friends were not Mormons would you seek out the book of Mormon, would you be open to it if it sort out you?

Because I didn't chose all the crap that's happened to me, I didn't seek it out, it was everywhere, even in my home, in the hearts of my parents who I love and it came from that book that sits next to the book of Mormon.

Maybe the book is an expression of xenophobia and if that book didn't give a sense of normality to those feelings another book would have or the general feeling of the mob would.

But its the car that carries Jesus.

If it carried Hitler I could throw the whole thing down the toilet but I don't want to throw away Jesus.

He's Buddha to me.
