You look on YouTube and on the more extreme christian sites the literalists are starting to paint all christians with the same brush due to their views. Some are becoming minor internet celebrities (VenomfangX being one of the more better known ones) and the only people who seem to be trying to silence these idiots are agnostics or atheists. I see very few christians or other theists trying to shut these idiots up and I do not know why?. Eventually they will manage to make all christians look like uneducated brainwashed idiots the same way extremist Muslims have made the world think all of them as terrorists.

Exactly, its not a case of saying the bible is totally false, in as much as its not a case of saying the koran or other teachers are totally false.
It is recognizing that in all things, there is both.. distinguishing what is true when it comes to matters of God and the unseen
Will Always remain only Individual choice, the only want that can substantiate it.. is God
And as long as that passes through mans lips, fingers and actions it will always been debated, agreed, disagreed upon.
