Beef

1. I had the privilege of engaging in conversation with a fine young Canadian lad who was sent to the U campus to preach the born again gospel to the multitudinous hellbound Mormons in Salt Lake City. For the record, I have absolutely no problem with this. I am happy to see anyone in their early twenties who actually gives a crap about how things are, were, and are to come. I do, however, become unamused when people of particular faiths criticize other people for their respective faiths. I see no logic or merit to this endeavor. Furthermore, I find it quite ridiculous how people use the Bible to attack other faiths. I accused the fine aforementioned gentleman today of putting the Bible above God, and of putting the text of the Bible above the principles of the Bible. These folks do not consider the nature of the laws of justice, mercy, and so forth, but rather, point to obscure passages and proclaim debatable interpretations. I have witnessed this practice countless times and I find it unfortunate. When your religion is proving the demise of other religions, you pit the masses and poision Christianity.
