Jesus provided free healthcare - a progressive, liberal thing to do.
Jesus had long hair, sandals and a beard, and he drifted around talkign about p eace and love. He was a hippy, not a republican. He wouldn;t have invaded Iraq (although the OT god might have).
Jay i didn't mean to come across so sarcastic. My point was that any interpretation is just that, an interpretation. We are talking about a book which has had a thousand meanings attached to it through the ages. Bottom line - NOBODY KNOWS, as you yourself admitted. Believing in the rapture is a hell of a leap from reading the words (probably poorly translated from the Hebrew - see my point about the virgin birth) 'caught u p' in ONE verse of the entire bible.
And this is why religion can be dangerous. Becasue faced with scientific reasoning (evolution, the big bang etc), or the plain truth that china is not going to invade israel, you lot just stick your fingers in your ears and shout 'lalalala can't hear you, we're right, lalalala'

whinge Audio pronunciation of "whinge" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (hwnj, wnj)
intr.v. Chiefly British whinged, whing·ing, whing·es

Do you see where is says "Chiefly British"? That's ALL I was asking. I HONESTLY did not know. And as for ME being illiterate? You're the one with the bogus answers.
Broom...I said "Baker's Dozen", which is 13....I can add 11 and 2 believe it or not......they say Baker's Dozen because if you buy a dozen whatevers directly from the baker, he throws in a bonus, making 13...look it up if you wish...very old saying......
EDIT: Here we go...
The oldest known source and most probable origin for the expression "bakers dozen" dates to the 13th century in one of the earliest English statutes, instituted during the reign of Henry III (r. 1216-1272), called the Assize of Bread and Ale. Bakers who were found to have short-changed customers could be liable to severe punishment. To guard against the crude punishment of losing a hand to an axe, a baker would give 13 for the price of 12, to be certain of not being known as a cheat. Specifically, the practice of baking 13 items for an intended dozen was to prevent "short measure", on the basis that one of the 13 could be lost, eaten, burnt or ruined in some way, leaving the baker with the original dozen. The practice could be seen in the guild codes of the Worshipful Company of Bakers in London

Fundementalists of ANY religion...
...just had to put that out there for a couple of reasons.. One to remind Jay that Christianity isnt the only religion that COULD BE right... second to show him we aren't just picking on Christianity.
