I just don't understand a lot of the biblical teachings.


Matthew 22:36-40 Love your neighbor as yourself.


Does that include homosexuals?



Though shall not commit adultery. Is divorce OK if you are a Christian?


The Sabbath day is one of rest. As a Christian do you hold a day to worship and not shop, work etc.



That is what confuses me. I can see the comfort people get in believing in god and spreading the good word. Many good works are done in the name of god- all over the world love and good will are spread in the name of god. But what about rallying against others (in this case homosexuals) and their beliefs? What about the taliban making women wear Burkas in public in the name of their god?



We can all find quotes to fit our needs and biblical scholars to back up our beliefs, but isn't all about being a good loving person, honoring our parents, not discriminating, loving our spouses (and being faithful) and children, not stealing and lying, and helping those who are downtrodden and sickly no matter which book you read?
