Many religions and people calling themselves Christians have misrepresented the word of God. Just as many calling themselves Christians commit a whole host of other sins and wrongs. Do not judge the word of God by what men do but by the word itself. If it were a book about how to catch 30lb steelehead most would read it inside and out and research it until death to understand the truth of it all. Yet when it comes to religion they use the actions of weak people as a reason to walk away or a light skimmining of the books to make their judgements. Interesting thought process .
