The bible isn't meant to be taken literally. It's meant to be read and to use the stories to better your life. It's not a history book or a prophecy. It's meant to teach people love, compassion and forgiveness...

Um, I don't think the enslavement and/or genocide of millions of South Americans in the hopes of 'civilizing' them in the name of christ is merely 'a small number acting up'.
Besides, we can all be taught to play well together without religion.
Rarely do morals and religion walk hand in hand.

Oh, also, they wouldn't be 'savages' if they'd had the presence of mind to create a relatively complex alloy such as bronze.
Just sayin'...

First, if things you don't even believe in scare you, then you may have taken a wrong turn on the internet, and arrived at the wrong website.
Second, no Christian would dare to imply that the anti-christ can't be stopped. That would, by definition, be antithetical to Christianity, and Christians would have to admit to being on the losing team.
And not just spread our own ideologies...(though, it is obvious some are in the business of trying to change hearts, which in my opinion is a sad affair)
