Back in 1982 at Kent State I had this old liberal (and ex-Marine) American history professor who said that the greatest two Americans came from the South. One was George Washington. The other was Martin Luther King.

Think about it...

Amazing things can happen when someone uses the Bible rather than scrutinize and question it.

Seeing as how the bible has been edited and rewritten so many times by men I would think it prudent to scrutinize and question the good book. Just my opinion, YMMV.

Ain't that the truth.
People use the bible to justify their wrong doing all the time and I think it's pretty amazing that others fall for that old trick.

And all his time I thought that Jesus wrote the New Testament while riding his t-rex on the many trips he made to Nazereth to visit mom and dad.
