Optional is probably not the right word. Interpret within the context, then weigh against the actual teachings of Jesus. Old testament says "an eye for an eye". Ok, does that jive with Jesus' "turn the other cheek"? No? Throw it out. In just a few short pages, Christs' actual teachings throw out so much of the fire and brimstone bunk that appears in the old testament. And yet, evangelicals and fundamentalists conveniently leave that out as they quote bible verse after bible verse. Perhaps I should have put a smiley after that. > > But if there really is a god then I stand by what I said - either it can > send me to 'the bad place' for being a heathen although I have done > nothing > to deserve it other than not believing, or it will act as you would expect > a > good and benevolent morally superior being to do and judge me fairly.
