I SEE that Tom McCarthy is back on his religious soap box berating Terry Banfield for his personal, sensible comments about the Bible. Have you not heard about free speech, Tom? There has been enough said about it in the papers and on TV recently.
I had a Christian upbringing and have tried to live by Christian standards, but that doesn’t mean I have to believe everything I read in the Bible. I don’t believe in the Creation, Adam and Eve etc and have my own theories on the Nativity and Crucifixion, but that is my prerogative and that is why we have brains.
Tom, stop the old Bible punching, hold and keep your own beliefs, but allow others to have theirs.
