Don't question my level of literacy. I have a Bible minor from Harding and have been force-feed the same crap as everyone else who went there. You seem to be arguing that Jesus' words won't pass away; except for Matthew 5:17-20.<br/><br/>Thank god I'm an atheist. (pun intended.)

One of the greatest things about openly identifying as an atheist was no longer having to participate in these sort of scriptural sausage-making sessions (except as a peanut-gallery commenter).<br/><br/>It's pretty hard, for example, to use scripture to convince someone that God doesn't really hate fags.
