Contradict me.. I dare you.

The bible is ambiguous,or at least it became so when translated into different languages once the author(s) died. I view the bible as something of a poem,because after a writer publishes a poem, the meaning becomes different to each reader depending on what their own personal experiences are..

Basically,these different interpretations become an argument over which interpretation is more "correct" when in actuality,they each hold the same amount of truth in their mutual validity --their existence(s).

I don't think we can objectively know God's intended teaching.. He didn't write the bible himself,so the book shouldn't even be considered perfect subjectively,because to say the book is perfect is to say our interpretation of the book is perfect. Each different denomination is a different interpretation....

To say any group's (or our personal)interpretation of the book is perfect(holy/pure) while we're human is to say other groups' interpretations aren't(are sinful), that they're somehow less valid(not true),and that the holders of the other interpretations are somehow more susceptable to bias(sin), therefore we would be asserting that we are somehow above the sin that those people who don't hold the same religious persecutions as us seem to be subjected to. In that case,when we proclaim we are perfect(without sin) for what we believe and even go so far as to kill other people for the sake of promoting our beliefs, who are we REALLY worshiping?

In my opinion, the bible must be considered exceedingly symbolic if it can hold any truth without contradicting itself logically. Non-acceptance/non-tolerance of other interpretations would be a sin :x If willful ignorance and pride are a sin, then not allowing our logic to adapt as time passes should also be one,because to not change would be pride as the truth of reality constantly changes.

Ironically.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_deadly_sins

>Wrath (Latin, ira), also known as anger or "rage", may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. These feelings can manifest as vehement denial of the truth, both to others and in the form of self-denial, impatience with the procedure of law, and the desire to seek revenge outside of the workings of the justice system (such as engaging in vigilantism) and generally wishing to do evil or harm to others.

Haha,look what's one of the 7 deadly sins?

I also find it ironic how I've been called unchristian by many christians and ridiculed while I've apparently(from their own confessions) of the Bible than they have.

..but I do believe that there is a logical doctrine to be found in the bible,and even other teachings, that is universal. I think,however,that that logic depends on the context and should solely be made in reference of it, not to justify it through any means other than rational thinking and not beyond stating the logic itself is a matter of fact.
