[QUOTE="Kaleion, post: 10472, member: 13"] Well in reality, considering that most of the Bible books were written by different people in different time and much, much later compiled into that book, individually any of those works isn't in average much more accurate than the Illiad, the main reason it gives the illusion that there is a higher volume of proven history is because they have been compiled together. That being said I do understand that the main reason is because people don't raise their kids to believe in Greek Myths anymore and the Illiad is taught in school as a primary example of a Legend, therefore leaving it very clear to kids that despite it presenting itself as a historical document it very much is a work of fiction that melds fantasy with reality. Statistically speaking, you're much more likely to believe the religion that you were raised into over any other one, of course exceptions exist, though I guess that tells us a bit about how faith is originated in the human mind, but obviously not all as if that was the most important factor I would be a believer and there would be no people switching religions at later stage of their lives. The act of judging is simply to form a conclusion about something or someone, so if one judges homosexuals to be evil, degenerates or whatever, for any reason, including because the Bible says so that is technically a judgement, though I guess I meant more when they not only force those conclusion but try to enforce, like for example how gay marriage is judged to be immoral despite the fact that it's more of a legal issue than it is one of faith, but people keep shoving their faith into the law and so on. You basically the whole "God hates Fags" that's very popular among some Christian communities (Because it really isn't all of them, I just call them out because most of the ones that oppose this behaviour are still part of of the ones that encourage it and therefore provide funding to them, in my eyes making them hypocrites), but basically my interpretation of it is that a Christian really enforced the commandment of "Thou shalt not Judge" rather than openly voicing their objection to this "inappropriate" behaviour that doesn't really hurt anyone they should let both the law and God take care of it without putting in their two cents, of course this isn't to say that all acts of judging people are negative, it is a necessary part of society otherwise would have even more murderers that we have now operating with impunity, but I guess it's an easy target when looking for inconsistencies in Christian behaviour, which is probably why I chose it.
