dang Michael, are you tired?
Yeah, i should say that all that stuff is MY personal belief and as such probably shouldn't have been used to counter an argument...
But, in my opinion, the bible should not all be taken literally, such as the story of Noah. I follow the bible, but not to the letter.
I think the stories in it demonstrate a general Idea and basically should be taken the same way a fairy tale should be, find the moral of the story.
I feel church denominations come second before your own personal beliefs but I also think that they provide a good community in today's society. While organized religion may have caused wars in the past and still causes problems today, I feel that it has been more positive than negative.
