Otherwise, you are shoving your opinion about homosexuality down their throat. <br /><br />Concerning the letter written above, the truth was twisted. Anyone who is truly in search of the truth will do their research and use discernment, not believe a letter that has been around as an email hoax for quite some time now.charlemagne12https://www.blogger.com/profile/04447096620071961150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569682519423498805.post-58879710079059055042012-04-08T12:19:45.826+01:002012-04-08T12:19:45.826+01:00Thanks Suzie, it's not always easy and Darren,...Thanks Suzie, it's not always easy and Darren, above, is right to have included the world 'try'.Mike Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02149847109691591945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569682519423498805.post-43913725278449878892012-04-08T12:18:17.352+01:002012-04-08T12:18:17.352+01:00"Try" is the word I should have included..."Try" is the word I should have included.

They seem to often preach what suits."<br /><br />I agree Mike and I love that letter above,it hits home how easy it is to back up an augment with a quote from the Bible without taking the whole document into account.I sat down in my 20's and read the whole thing from cover to cover,and could not believe the outright contradictions in it that make it virtually impossible to apply in real life.<br />It certainly cured me from religion and set me on the road to find true spirituality instead. <br />I challenge anyone to read the bible from cover and apply everything in it as God's word,and still remain sane.<br />Another title for the Bible could be <br />"Mission Impossible".-)<br />And the same goes for Orthodox Judaism,I'm a secular Jew and have tried following that path,more from a cultural / traditional perspective than a religious one (for instance I still don't eat pork out of respect for my fellow religious Jews [and Muslim friends] who choose not to...and I don't condemn those who do[my wife and kids,for example],but I do eat shellfish and many un-kosher foods [oh,the shame] as I find the kosher laws almost impossible to follow anyway,especially when you live outside of a Jewish community like I do. <br /><br />And as hard as it may be to do,I agree with you Mike when you say,<br />"Personally I believe we should all respect each other regardless of race, colour, sexual preference, religion, age and so on ... and [try to]live as one".Brizdaz (Darren)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16218154629850982033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569682519423498805.post-82186895824385943612012-04-07T14:37:24.764+01:002012-04-07T14:37:24.764+01:00Laura Schlessinger is a right wing nut.
