So I have a friend that is a self-described agnostic. Now the difference between someone that is agnostic and atheist is that an atheist does not believe that there is any such thing as God. An agnostic person believes there is a God just that the Bible is not the answer or does not tell an accurate story. So as most people that are not religious, he is pretty well versed in the Bible.
We can exist together because I am not trying to make him what he isn't and he isn't trying to make me what I am not. We are very similar people in most other aspects of life and I appreciate him for who he is. At any rate he reminded me today, of something that religious people do that is the silliest thing, in my opinion.
He and his wife met a couple and they were hanging out. Well, during this time they were hanging out they meet one of the Supreme Court Justices and the wife of the other couple proceeds to ask a question of the Judge about gay marriage rights. Well, the judge gives, of course the political answer and the wife doesn't let the subject go. So, when my friend, his wife and the other couple go out she still talks about the gay marriage thing and proceeds to say she doesn't thing that gays should be allowed to get married or adopt children. Well, my friend proceeds to grill her and then she responds with the reason she doesn't agree with it is because it says so in the Bible. Well, that is silly obviously the Bible doesn't say that gays shouldn't be allowed to adopt children and my friend pulls her skirt on that.
This is what irks my nerves about the religious people. Yes there is a difference between the religious people and those who are truly doing God's work. Well, what I think is crazy is when a religious person acts as though they are not allowed to make up their mind about issues without acting like it tells them so in the Bible. Sure when you have major issues in life and you need guidance, as a Christian should turn to your Bible and pray for the guidance you are requiring. But aside from that God has given us freewill and the ability to make choices because we have the mental capacity to do so.
God and the Bible are not things to hide behind. They are here to offer you guidance and a road map to live your temporary life in a way that gives you the eternal life you want.
