Listen the Bible was written for those of us that WANT to have the light and understanding, NOT the dogs.

It was NEVER meant to "resonate with the majority of mankind", you clearly haven't read it.

Jesus is NOT with the majority, he is KING, LORD, SAVIOR, and GOD.
Not to mention Jesus Christ IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN!
If you don't have faith that is what condems you.

catholics are not preaching the gospel, they preach a perverted one.  The Bible teaches to pray to the Father in Jesus name, NEVER pray to mary or worship idols, vain babbling, and so on. 
You really should consider Jesus Christ, hell is no joke friend, I wouldn't call the Bible anything bad...

The problem may be you still care enough to listen and have hope about these deluded people.  I agree with you they were very scary and not much has changed.  Given the chance you betcha these people would be glad to have you disappear "for the good of the church".  Seems though the power of the church mercenaries has gone a little.  Let's see if the Repubs in the US and what happens then.

I no longer trust anyone I perceive may have an agenda they wish to thrust on me without my approval.  I work to disarm such people or avoid them if I can.  To twist my emotions from fear and anger to competitive aggression with a smile.  Such people are largely bullies.  To take a bully on you don't want to have it head on.  Just pretend it isn't even a competition until you crack their shit open.  Then casually mention you were playing all along.

The Rastafarians are Christians and they are pretty cool =p (not sure I agree with Selassie being Christs reincarnation though )

Fun fact....Deadlocks were taken from the old Teastement! Including codes for the Rastafarian Ital diet, which utilizes kosher laws

Quote:

"Jung says that for the purpose of becoming man, God,
through the Holy Ghost, chooses the 'creaturely man filled with darkness,'
the natural man.

'The guilty man is eminently suitable and is therefore
chosen to become the vessel for the continuing incarnation, not the guiltless
one who holds aloof from the world and refuses to pay his tribute
to life, for in him the dark God would find no room."

Quote:

"How much more dangerous indeed is the complacent, righteous Pharisee than the degraded publican in Jesus' famous parable - and that even before the publican's conversion to God in a blinding awareness of truth! It is evident that the Antichrist can pervert that which is basically good, as well as harness the evil emotions that lie dormant in all of us. It is no surprise that a number of Jesus' parables exalt the sinner above the coldly virtuous person, the loose-liver above the morally scrupulous. The sinner has the potentiality for repentance and healing when he comes to himself in abject humiliation; the virtuous person, without the experience of life in its manifold dimensions, can live so comfortably in his ivory tower of excellence that he is impervious to the grace of God and therefore the love of his fellow creatures. Indeed, his moral excellence is his god; which ousts the Living God from his life. It is such a person who is especially liable to explode in violence when his manifest goodness seems to bear scant reward, and then the devil enters the vacuum and wreaks enormous violence and havoc. We have already considered the shadow that lives in all of us as a concatenation of savage impulses barely kept in control by a superimposed moral prerogative, but liable to erupt at any moment when we feel cheated or rejected by life, so that we can blame other people for our discomfiture and humiliation."
