Yeah...the bible says a lot of things unfortunately that people don't listen to...such as Jesus' teachings of 'sell your belongings and follow me' or 'the greedy will not inherit the kingdom of heaven' and such.
Athiest: Agrees, though in my opinion it is religion as we know it? In my classes I've taken over my three years in college I've seen a trend in religions...like...the world's mindset shifts and evolves, and religions do so accordingly. If they don't they become arcane and a hindrance to progress. I'm thinking religion needs another leap forward? I mean like it or not we'll always have it. This is probably best post in the philosophy section...
