Heh, the bell rang before I could finish my thought, so it's kinda one-sided.
I've probably read the bible, but mainly from lessons in church etc... I don't read things well if they have no plot.
I guess it was a mistake to bring all that much religion into this, but I just dislike how many of the conservative christians around me act like the corrupt priests 2000 years ago. It drives me crazy.
Personally, I think the bible is a very bad source for history. Seems to me like the writers did a bad job of telling the truth in many spots. I don't particularly think the officials in the church killed Jesus, it was probably the Romans, and the writers of the bible decided to blame it on the church to perhaps make it more "dramatic."
Please note that GW's faith is a very small reason I don't like him, most of the others are talked about in this thread.

What is the judicial system coming to when child molesters get 5 years and cottage cheese gets 30.
