I'm Angry that these Fairy-Tale Believers Think They're Right because They're "in the Majority"

They don't want to listen to ANY replies that don't fit into their "intellectual" beliefs of the Bible. They don't want to realize that there are many ways to translate the words of the Bible and how they relate to the believers. They don't have the guts to step away from the pack and believe anything different than the normal group of believers and what they preach. The Bible is translated from a very ancient language and there needs to be room for difference in that translation. There needs to be room for people who have a difference of opinion of that translation. They don't allow for intelligence or intellectual differences and the only way they know to rebut the differences is to block them any way that they can. Does it really change the total vision of what Jesus was teaching? Why can't another's viewpoint be taken into consideration and discussed? In my mind it would be like placing a bottle of dirty water in front of a group of thirsty people. The water is dirty and green and obviously muddy. One person says lets drink from this bottle while another person says "No, it doesn't look healthy to me". The majority decides to follow the person who decides to drink the dirty water because they are thirsty, they don't take into consideration that there might be something in the water that will make them sick...the one person who says the water doesn't look healthy to me keeps having his opinion blocked by a group of people talking over his objections and logical reasons for NOT drinking from the bottle. Somewhere down the line the people who drank from the bottle turn on the man who didn't drink the water and demand to know why he didn't stop them.... I applaud your attempts to get your point across, @mythociate, sometimes people are just too hard headed to stop and take into consideration another's viewpoint even if it doesn't match their own and especially, gasp, if it makes them think.
