Why Call Me Stupid?

Number 666 = Idolatry?

Isn't holding the bible to be sacred a form of idolatry?

(You know Radrook, if you really want to feel oppressed try being a feminist or an Isalm)
One has no objectivity when upholding the Bible like that. And yes, it is idolatry. No disrespect for Radrook, but this is what the number 666 is supposed to represent (Fundametnalism, The Reformation, etc.).

The purpose of 'etc.' is to illustrate that there are similar items to add to the list that you can't be bothered to actually type out. I really wish you would not use it in this case, since it is not at all clear what the uniting theme of Fundamentalism and the Reformation is. Unless you mean 'episodes in the history of Christianity,' I'm perplexed as to the nature of things to mentally conclude your list with.

The Christian Church as most of us know it is nothing but a sham. Yes, and this is exactly what the number 666 refers to. There, does that help clarify things?

It does, in fact. Thank you. I hadn't previously realized your take on the Church in general was so dim. Your stance is now clear.

You might even make Adm'ral one day. :D

However, it's not the problem with Chritianity per se', it's what people do with it that makes it a problem, which is why I made reference to Hitler quoting from the Bible in the other thread. Which, is kind of what got Radrook ticked off at me.
