That must bring plenty of comfort.
This is what I genuinely struggle with. People can pick and choose what parts they believe from The Bible, yet it's supposedly God's words and therefore the ultimate truth.

I'm not having a go at people for choosing religion as a comfort... I'm not a complete t**t. What I am is resentful of a large percentage of religious people turning their eyes away from some of the facts that they don't wish to face because it doesn't suit their argument.

I think that's fair.
