Well, it is not a question of physically following Jesus but adhering to his teachings and philosophy which does not advocate the murder of innocents. Xians follow the NT for their major teachings. And when it comes to Bibles...there isn't any Bible that is in its original state. It all has been altered here and there to suit the elite in power at the time. The only teachings that have not been chopped and diced are the Quran and the Teachings of BUddha. So if you want a more untainted point of view, you should go to these sources, but it is not to say that the NT doesn't have some good philosophies in life. Acutually my phavorite philosophy is the Wiccan Reed: If it harms none, do as you will. Such a clear teaching that can be followed by anyone.

If every christian lived by the bible, you would have this:

• Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
• Tell the people of Israel to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you forever. It helps you to remember that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. Yes, keep the Sabbath day, for it is holy. Anyone who desecrates it must die; anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community. (Exodus 31:12-15 NLT)

Lovely. And it's the MUSLIMS we are to fear? Yikes!

I wouldn't have thought you to be such a lemming Glass. I think you have elements of reasonable intelect but who gave you this list and why did they change the quotes from what was written in the NLT?

12 Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the Lord your God must die. In this way you will purge the evil from Israel.

Ok I can see why you are so frightened of this. I know when I have to go before the priests and judges in the temple it is with fear and trepidation in case the christians have to kill me for refusing to perform the sacrifices.

Instructions for the Sabbath
12 The Lord then gave these instructions to Moses: 13 “Tell the people of Israel: ‘Be careful to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you from generation to generation. It is given so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy. 14 You must keep the Sabbath day, for it is a holy day for you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death; anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community. 15 You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the Lord. Anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.

Oh how many times have there been people slaughtered by those murderous christians for putting in a little over time on Saturdays. That must be why more deaths and wars have been purpetrated by them than other religions. Like yourself I personally fear being cut off from the Iraelite community too.

Actually there is no clear proof (many unproven allegations though) that the Bible was ever "altered". The Dead Sea Scrolls should have laid that argument to rest, at least for the Old Testament, as the manuscripts discovered were over a thousand years old, and were virtually (only minor syntax differences) unchanged from what we have today. While the Quran was made by one man, and contradicts itself again and again, the Bible was written by numerous individuals from semi literate shepherds and fishermen to princes and kings, yet there is (again despite unproven allegations) no contradiction to be found.
I myself don't follow the Lord, having foolishly given up after doing so for 14 years because i was so disgusted with the hypocritical clown show that is the church, but i saw way too much in that 14 years to disbelieve what is in the Bible. There is no book that comes close to it, and the Quran is a comic book compared to it.

I think I heard a Fatwah was taken out on your life...LOL!~

If i had a religion, i would probably be islam.

It's easy, all you have to do is say the Shahada (declaration of faith) three times and then take a bath (washing your whole body, including sniffing water up your nose and blowing it out three times). After this, you are considered a Muslim and all your previous sins are totally forgiven! So reverts are at a bit of an advantage to lifers as far as being able to be accepted into Jannah (Paradise). If you want to know the Shahada, here it is:

La Illaha Illa Allah, Muhammad Rasool Allah!

If you have ever watched the 13th Warrior, this is what Antonio Banderas writes in the sand for King Olaf, and this is what it means:

There is no god worthy of worship except Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger.

Now say this three times and go take a bath, then you can pray five times a day, quit eating BBQ Babybacks, start giving Zakhat (Tithe of income that is supposed to go to the needy, like...HAMMAS!) and starve yourself throughout the month of Ramadan.

Better that then circumcision.

Hate to break this to you, but Muslims are a Semetic religion and believe in circumcision as well... http://www.circlist.com/rites/moslem.html

Enjoy your brand new (but a bit shorter) peter!

I'm suprised that somebody suffering from such severe muscular atrophy could be so insensitive

[b.k. barunt]

He's determined to take whump's place, and may well do so, since whump will wither and die when we ignore him. Billyboy, we'll let you take whump's place as CC poonboy, but you have to get a suitable avatar. The one you have now makes you look like someone who is trying to portray himself as a ladies man, while accomplishing the exact opposite. Go figure.
