Well.. I personally believe that the problem with the bible is not the bible itself, but the way people interpret it. I know that there are people who take a certain scripture and interpret it, in a way that could benefit them. In order to justify something in their life, that would otherwise be viewed as wrong. People say the most outrageous things and say "it says in the bible that it is okay to.. " but when you tell them to show you where it is, they either don't know or show you a passage that clearly does not mean that or is a little bit open for interpratation. But what I think is that most people don't actually read the bible and its true message, they just take other people's interpretation or what other people may think, based on OTHER books. How many people actually read the bible cover to cover and stop to think about the bigger picture or the main message, which may not be just what it says on the page. ANd it does not say in the bible we HAVE to eat raw foods, because God allowed Noah to eat meat after the flood, since everything was wiped out and all they had left were the animals. So, in the bible it is not wrong to eat meat, but it is TODAY's cruelty that is the problem. Consuming meat in this country is contributing to cruelty to animals AND it is sooo bad for your health. But anyway, I didn't mean to get us started in this subject again. ha-ha Thanks for your response. I'm working on a couple of questions I would like to ask you in the future, so you should be hearing from me soon.
