I don't really think I am going to hell nor do I believe in it what I was saying was a little I don't know what but was meant to sorta give a making fun of the "Your all going to hell" attitude that MOST Christians have about Pagans.

Yes, I have many doubts about the Bible and my viewing upon it might be somewhat one sided but then again most of the Bible is one sided which is not it's fault for it is merely a book written by man on there interpretation of what "God" said. Humans are tainted with domain and though the Bible says we are "God's children" that does not make us gods in any way. With this said I think this organized religion called Christianity should be revised to fit the times and because so many people take it so literally make sure that it is very specific. I talked to a family member who IS Christian and she said that the part about detesting animals was because many of those animals had serious diseases and if you where to eat them then of course you would get sick and die. She also said that nowadays if we see a dead animal laying there we usually assume it was hit by a car but back then the animal would have died from some disease and there for touching it would make us sick if we where to touch other things that would go into our mouths. I will admit the writes of the Bible where quite intelligent about some things but then again a lot of the things it says are either outdated like that or have been tainted in the translation over time. A lot of Christians will back me up on this fact but then again a lot wouldn't as with all my posts "This is my humble opinion" nothing more nothing less.
