Talk about fucking up what Nature got right in the first place.
Never heard that motivation from a Christian before. But plenty of Leviticus!
Anyway, the real trouble with the Bible, is that it isn't CONSISTENT. It keeps contradicting itself.
Example:
Wealth = a sign of righteousness
Psalm 112:1, 3
Proverbs 13:22
Proverbs 15:6
Wealth = a sign of wickedness
Matthew 19:23-24
Luke 6:24
James 5:1
So which is it?
There are many many other examples like this.
No, I'm the anti-Bible fag arguing with the Bible fag. Completely pointless waste of time, I know, and I'd stop it immediately if anything worthwhile was going on.
I just find it amazing people try to find guidance in a book that has no clue what it thinks about anything. Should a good Christian be concerned about material things?
Clearly YES!
5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
Clearly NO!
6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Sounds reasonable.
