On some level, I would have to admit that my beliefs about the Bible
*are* disparaging. I'm very critical of certain parts of the Bible.
There are certain teachings which I think are actually immoral. Not
just for modern-times but pretty much for all times.
In spite of that, I think Christians can be good people. I think
Christians can be "saved" without necessarily becoming "Muslim". I
think God judges the quality of a persons heart and what their
intentions are, and judges what opportunities they had. I would be
open about disagreeing with certain Christian doctrines, but I don't
think that means I look down on Christians or say they have a less
developed religion than I do.
