Plus babe, it's not just the deliberate misinterpretation of the bible....
But so much of it was written for another epoch. What does our modern world have even remotley in common with the world of over two thousand years ago? The vast majority of the Old Testiment was writen after the Jews left Egypt. Rules written to preserve a people wandering and lost. Rules about children over eating, crop placements, certain atire, keeping their people alive while trying to rid themsleves of all the rituals that were Egypt.
Then comes the new testiment and Jesus. And the new testiment, put together 600 years after his death and pieced together and voted on by a huge committee (!!!!!) what should and should not be allowed in, dictated by the morals of that time and what the Romans were doing and the persecutions that were happening then...... all the things that were most likely voted out because of this interest group or another..
(who knows, maybe the whole Book of Homo got left on the floor that day because someone's chariot broke a wheel or some closet case had a bee in his bonnett)
Now fast forward two thousand years and several translations and additions and versions later.......and this is still what people are fighting and dying over pretending they are reading what god or Jesus said or intended word for word.
Amazes me....We don't believe half of what we read in the paper today, but we kill each other over a book written 600 years after the (supposed) author was dead by a bunch of politically manipulating, power hungry men who's entertainment of choice was watching people kill each other in an arena.....
