1. You seem to have assumed that i am a pornographer. I provide links to it, I've never produced it. But no matter, because with respect to the subject of "God" I really don't think he would be as uptight as mere people make him out to be.
2. Even if I was on here shouting to the universe that I am an uber-Christian (or power-Muslim, or Jet-fueled Jew) I would no more presume to say who I think is going to hell and who isn't than I would take a hack saw to my arm. I mean serioiusly, believer or not, who the fuck am I (or you) to decide "who's gonna burn" and who isn't?
One thing I do believe is that true people of faith know that it isn't up to them. And a lot of those examples and passages in the bible do refer to pre-medieval times when there was a bit more savagery in the world, I wouldn't be looking to take those words literally and apply them to present day. But the precepts that are in their as far as human decency goes, treating people with respect, acting civilized and not killing one another or disrespecting each other like idiots, well, it's all in there (same precepts in the books of other religions too, for argument's sake) and they are all just as applicable today as they were 2,000 years ago.
Donny, I respect your right and your choice to believe the way you want to. All I've ever asked is that people do the same for others, as in live and let live.
