Although I may be religious and accept Jesus as my savior, I see many polemic inadequacies in the holy book that I read. To some I even see that the bible may have created noxious damage to people because when people utilize the bible for an argument, the points being made are either bigoted or irrational. I understand that religion involves a deep probity of morality, but religion is definitely not unimpeachable, it is not okay to be misogynistic or racist to other people because the bible said so. If many more people in the world followed the logic of many extreme Christians, the only humans that would survive this mass chaos would be the people in the apogee leaving earth. Christianity boldly states that it is the apropos of a believer to be a giver, yet many Christians don't want to even donate simple accouterments to the human-beings with absolutely nothing. Christians focus on the spiritual help but not the financial necessities that allow for people to survive to put moral principles into place. Instead Christians bicker about the cull (homosexuals and non-believers) and try to make "reason" of the convoluted bible. This doesn't show how rational this religion is but how disparate and how licentious Christianity can be.  Though this may make me feel like I am being blasphemous and anti-dogmatic toward my own God, but in this populous planet someone needs to speak up. Coalescing love and hate together is a mete I will not cross as it is hypocritical and will be the truncation of society if practiced worldwide. I hope to get a repartee in the comments of this post to hopefully debate my points civilly and not make a contretemps of myself.


*** I don't mean to offend anyone i am saying this out of pure thought and inner turmoil I feel toward the religion I believe in.
