For anyone who actually read the Bible....

93. Conservatism and Libertarians are not a religion too

But you will play hell trying to convince them there is anything but the truth of their faith in the teachings of Ayn Rand...it is not about religion only, it is about ridged belief in one system that closes the mind to any other idea.
And I am not here to convert you to anything...you must learn things yourself...and I don't give a fuck what anyone reading this thinks...some will understand what I say and some will not...and I will not be able to convert anyone to anything.

But all you know about the bible is what you have read while looking for contradictions and errors with which to declair it bullshit with...That is common with people of non faith, just as common as those fundies that read it for tid bits that support their own belief system...I read it for the story, and made no judgment as to whether it is all true or not...that is the diference...and I can tell you that the teachings of Jesus was in no way common in those times...and he made blistering attacks on the common belief of the times...and even phisically attacked the money changes in the temple, that was near and dear to the Roman as well as the Jewish leadership...and his predecessor John the Baptist was beheaded for his criticism of the system they believed in.

But you are wrong, there is no elite class of people that can receive any truth...anyone can receive it if they are willing to open their mind and let it in...but most are too afraid to do that because they are afraid of what is behind that door that will shatter what they have been so heavily invested in...be it faith in fundamentalist religion or belief in materalism....change and being wrong is what is feared
