See I'd totally feel rebuffed if you'd actually said anything of value. Hell if you ever did that I may not have told you to stop posting.

It's their life, not mine. I am more concerned about myself.

People who take the Bible too literally do dumb stuff such as:
Use it to justify homophobia.
Attempt to use it to justify absolute banning of abortions (including those that would put the mothers health at risk).
Used it to justify stuff like manifest destiny.
Use it to justify outlawing condoms (hello AIDs, my name is Africa).
Do these things hurt me personally? No. But I also accept that I'm not the only person on the world worth considering.
