> > Interesting comment, as it fits exactly the thinking of born-again Christians. The Bible does not mandate the formation of religions. Simply study the Bible, and follow the teachings of Jesus.

> You could have just as easily said study history and don't be a scumbag, it would equate to the same thing, really. The NT portion of the bible basically says to 'love thy neighbor', 'do unto others as you'd have done to you', 'don't judge people because you are no better then they are', and 'don't break laws unless the laws themselves are immoral'. At least, if you remove the metaphysical stuff from the book, that's what it says.-Yeah, but born-again's don't let you do that. They want to control the political system with just as much fervor as the Pope, and do it on the authority of God almighty. .

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
