well emy, that's for you to chose, and that's my point. all i'm saying is other religions feel like they can say and feel whatever they want. whereas if someone provides a dissenting view, they are mocked. jesus was actually an alright guy for the most part. i think his fan club leaves alot to be desired. you preach about jesus over and over, but, fail to see what he really was about. love, forgiveness, understanding. all that goes out the window mighty fast with people like you. and as for this statement:
you've let yourself be shaped by unfortunate people
it's because i don't let others shape my view, i am allowed to see the stories of the bible for what they really are. LIES!!!!!!!
