re: #3 reine.de.tout

Has anyone suggested “elevating” nature above people?

And aren’t people part of “nature”?

And I’m really, really, really sick to death of people trying to justify everything they do (or don’t want done) based on what “the Bible” says, as if they have sole proprietership of that good book and their interepretation is the ONLY right one.

Regardless of whether ones believes in Christianity or not, it’s a 2000 year old book written and assembled by humans in the context of their time. Even if it was ‘divinely inspired’, it was up to humans to write it down and inject their own biased interpretation, just like is done today (at least that’s how I explain all the inhumane and hypocritical things in it) NO ONE should ever take the Bible literally.

I’d like biblical literalists to explain the First Council of Nicaea and what its point was.
