    The Bible is a sprawling, hacked together, sparsly edited, iteratively translated, incomplete, multi-author, self-contradictory, work of fiction that can be used to justify almost any position you want to take.

    But I'm happy you've taken the pacificsm and tolerance message from the Bible. Many Christians don't. And there's no way to adjudicate who is "correct" because it's all absolute nonsense.

    It's kind of like a textual Rorschach test.

    The old testament is suddenly applicable when it comes to the gays.
