Also, you already pick and choose what you believe and don't believe in the Bible, so where do we even begin? How can parts of it be "undisputed fact" while other parts of it, you don't buy into at all? I just can't wrap my mind around how you can do both. "THIS is 100% true, because it says so in the Bible! Oh, this stuff that is said in the Bible? I don't believe in that."
I know some dudes who totally didn't buy religion and then got hooked on drugs and then got super into Jesus. OK, whatever works for you. I think religion is an aid that some people need. I know other people who have self control issues who are all in your face with Jesus, and yet these same people cheat on their wife, go on coke benders, etc. Those people are searching for something that tells them, "Your sins are OK, we all sin and just ask Jesus to forgive and you are fine," and these same people keep doing the same dirty crap over and over. Sorry, can't buy their "beliefs" either.
