Often times I get confused by the religious right's focus on the Old Testament (understandable for Jewish folks but Christians??). We are very critical of Islamic fundamentalists but radical "Christians" are admired for their steadfast belief that words in a 2000 year old book written by men is somehow the indisputable truth word for word...stone and adulterers lately?

Thanks somer.

I have no issue with christianity. I do have issues with those who are trying to tear down the separation of church and state, and those who twist jesus' teachings of love to justify hatred and discrimination. And I certainly do not support inequality, like that woman is espousing. She has a right to her opinion, I have the right to disagree.
