    My gut feeling tells me that Islam is more right than Christianity, but that they are both completely wrong.

      If only all believers were either Quakers, Sufis, Buddhists, or Baha'i

      The world would be so much better.

        Don't forget Sikhs. You never see them bullying people to convert. Plus they carry around religious daggers.

              Lies. Everyone knows that Jesus was Jewish.

                Was Jesus also gay? I mean the guy was a confirmed bachelor and virgin

                    According to biblical lore, he was married to Mary Magdaline a known (female) prostitute.

                      Don't give him any ideas. The last thing we need on this forum is someone with a messiah complex.

                        It may be too late for that.

                          People should make up their minds. Are you going to slam him like that or slam him for his relationship with Mary Magdalene? In any event, evidently he's going to get slammed.

                            Jesus was gay, but Mary Magdalene was actually a man.

                              Where is there any evidence in those links? The first is just someone spouting an opinion. The Wikipedia article doesn't support your contention either. In fact, it says: "Biblical literalists believe that, unless a passage is clearly intended as allegory, poetry, or some other genre, the Bible should be interpreted as literal statements by the author." Ta-da.

                              Yours sometimes are, often when talking about religion which is something you don't seem to understand well.
                              Yeah, except I actually have data to back up what I said, not "I don't think this is true, ergo it isn't." That's YOUR method.

                              Notice how that author fully accepts that religious people have literalist minds, despite your protestations. Whatever *my* reading of the Bible in this context is utterly irrelevant, this isn't about my views.

                                The difference is I actually cited real poll data about the beliefs of Christians. This isn't about *my* reading of the text.

                                Given the arguments I've seen you having with other Christians on this board, I don't think you have any room to talk about eccentric interpretations. Or flat-out erroneous ones.
