I don't think it has anything to do with the Bible itself as their church in general. Their priest said this or that, and to do this and not do that... because of that priest's interpretation of the Bible... and that's what blinds them.

That's why religion like man is flawed. Religion is by and of man, That's why I don't fully trust any religion. Man uses everything including religion for his own gain, God does not. God is not flawed, man is.

In general yea, pretty much.

I am not putting any religion or faith down, I am spiritual as you know. I just think that people blame God for the acts of some churches and religions, when it's not God to blame, it's those who misuse religion for their own gain, to oppress or control people for the wants and beliefs of the leaders of the church. And I am not saying that all churches or preachers/pastors/reverends etc. do this, most don't. It's always the few bad apples that spoil the bunch.

I believe that we all have the God given right to believe in what we choose or nothing at all. God does not force himself on us, we have the freedom to accept or reject God. You can worship God, a doorknob, a whiskey bottle, whatever you choose, it's your freedom as a human, though I feel sorry for those who would choose the second or third option.
