As an aside to this conversation there are at LEAST .............ready................
33,000 recognized denominations of Christians all reading the SAME book!
I've read around FORTY thousand denominations.
All reading essentially the same book.
Some say the J.W.'s changed some wording in the N.W.T. Bible they use.
I dunno.
You pick the "right one" denomination and let me know what that one is please.
Note: There are NOT 33,000 denominations of Islam.
Or ANY other religion for that matter.
Go figger.
Just sayin'.
One could become a Westboro Baptist and publicly condemn gay people.
(Judging is NOT in my job description.)
One could become a fundamentalist and pass around a basket of rattlesnakes to
"demonstrate" ones faith.
I won't, thank you very much.
