Do you know much about the Bible?

Sort of like the song Dont Know Much by Cynthia Weil and Tom Snow, I don't know much about any religion, I'm open to learn though.

I think people use the term 'religion' to justify so much these days - to me the Bible is the Word of God, pure and simple.

Yeah people have really been finicky with things, criticism of Christianity goes back as far as the roman empire, if not further.

I think that's because some 'Christians' may not really be - not for me to judge, but there is a lot of hypocrisy.

Yeah I know what you meen, a lot of people exhibit hypocrisy in the form of religious and moral beliefs. Its a shame, to me values are everything.

Oh, I think there are people out there who definitely follow Christ, but they aren't the ones protesting funerals of soliders - unfortuantely those type of people are the ones that get the media's attention.

Yeah those Westboro Baptist Church folk are messed up, anyone who can be homophobic or inflammatory to anyone that makes decisions that don't harm anyone is a demon.

Unfortunately that is a lot of people's opinions of all Christians - God tells us in the Bible that love is the most important of all, without it all our good works are worthless.

It's amazing to me how many Biblical and Quranic narratives overlap, there are over fifty people found in the bible with the exact same background.
