LOL, I'm glad I left religion. I don't think I'd want to have to be trying to work all these rules out. I never liked being told what to do anyway.

However, in my opinion,
Quote
Jesus said to Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength; And to Love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus said all the laws and commandments are within those 2 statements.

is excellent advice to live by, depending on how you define God. And being nice to other people? No complaints there. Jesus said some wise things.

I can't honestly say I'm keen to get into Biblical scholarship here, but I hope the point's been made that people do interpret the Bible, and this can include the book of Genesis. I'm quite keen to talk some more about hominid fossils but it's looking like it would be best to start a new thread on that topic.

Did you catch Russ' new introduction to this forum. Not biased at all, LOLOL.
