That's the only time religion bothers me. I'm an agnostic person myself, and align myself more with Buddhism more than anything else, but consider that more of a belief and philosophy than a religion. Every time I have discussions of people who take the bible literally it reminds me of this scene from the West Wing. Keep in mind the President's character in this show IS religious, he's just not someone who takes the bible literally, and he destroys those that do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSXJzybEeJM But other than people who take the bible literally to use it to cut down others, I'm open minded and understanding of religious people. The only thing worse than someone who takes the bible literally is a militant Atheist who feels it's their life duty to cut down anyone who is religious or goes to church. That does nothing for anyone but create and stir vitriol, and it certainly won't bring those religious people across the line into atheism. People just need to be accepting of whatever works for everyone else. It's really that simple.than those that take it "literally" but really only take it "literally" where it suits them.
