"You got to remember that Im indoctrinated to read or hear the Holy Bible."

To the exclusion of reason and common sense?

I'm starting to concur with the commenters who are convinced you're actually a stoned student having fun with people's reactions.

Plus, that's less disturbing than the other possible conclusions.

Gibo: "In this respect trusting little other than Gods Word, which is Confirmed as truth to me by The Holy Spirit who lives within, I dont let much pollute what God gave me. Sorry if that seems narrow. But it sure is Comfortable."

It doesn't *seem* narrow, Gibo, it *is* narrow. I do wish you well and of course you should believe whatever you wish. But sometimes it seems a bit odd that you start threads but then block absolutely others people's views and opinions, because you do not trust them. This isn't a conversation, it's just you stating your views about gay people, vilifying gay people with some barefaced lying about the incidence of homosexuals knowingly spreading HIV, pointing out that the media should bow down to these (fallacious) views, then refusing to respond or even listen to anyone else's views or ideas.

I know your views are very heartfelt, and I'm sure you're a good person underneath all that prejudice, but it seems to me that you don't really know much about gay people except what you have read in a few newspaper reports. Why don't you leave judgment up to God, and focus on the positive things you can do rather than the negative?

By the way, Gibo, you are getting Richard Dawkins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Dawkins) mixed up with Stephen Hawking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hawking). Neither of them appear bitter (quite the reverse) and certainly neither of them are idle!

The Bible TRTL to born again christian is all thats reason and commonsense. Everything else could generally be anything from a truthful thing to lies, imaginings, making stuff up, fiddling the books etc.
Vanilla.
No bareface lies about many gays knowing they are spreading the virus.
They know what they doing when they say "to hell with the condom this time" or "who cares about this person Im about to have sex with, Im going to do it anyway and tell them nothing about my infection"...giving it to both sexes.
They are a true menace to society and thats not vilification. Its telling the truth.

Could be Vanilla.
The end of the day tires me.
Most of the science/evolution/secular folk are much the same. Look out over the great number of them and beyond a few faces in the front row...the rest are tops of heads.
Theres just so much talk out there, so many scrambling to be recognised, so many articles, so many charts and graphs, so much Uni/professor speak.
No one can keep up. Its like the net...too much on it to keep people interested in the longrun...apart from the porn perverts.
The Word of God is where its at for christians.

Gibo

Given your distrust of the written word:

"I dont trust too many writings, articles etc enough to go indepth. To me, and many other christians, its primarily a deception age when noted researchers, professors, lecturers will do almost anything for fame."

Am I correct in assuming that you read the New Testament in its original Aramaic, given how tricky those translations could be?

I mean the translations could possibly lead you into the narrow confines of a self-righteous straight jacket? As you said yourself, some editors may be careless. They may even have agendas of spreading hate towards particular groups of people.

Have you considered that you have closed yourself from the world and the many diverse people that make it, simply because the New testament is not quite as truthful as you would like to believe?
