I do not 'justify' MY actions with anything from the bible or any other religious doctrines but don't assume, in your usual patronizing way, that I haven't studied it or understood the meaning of some of its more arcane ordinances.

I choose to believe, like many other non-fundamentalist brought up in the Christian faith, in the evidence of evolution for example.

F. Belton Joyner Jr., a retired pastor and author, notes that no one can "take their Bible straight" because any reading of the Bible goes through our all-too-human filters.
That's why you can pretty much prove anything you want by quoting Bible verses picked out to conform to your point.'

It has been said that
'Oftentimes the Bible verses someone quotes tells you more about the person quoting the Bible than about the Bible verses themselves.'

so I conclude with Matthew 22:34-40
