Now to jump headlong into the fray...

My problem with citing biblical text is that the bible has been translated hundreds of times, and in doing so was almost certainly edited to reflect the views of those who were in power at the time. And even after that, it is still "interpreted" differently by religious leaders in an attempt to support their current ideas.

It just seems to me that you shouldn't believe everything you read, especially when nobody can agree on how it's supposed to be read in the first place...

Of course, that's easy for me to say, since I was never raised having a certain religion fed to me.
