Don't get me wrong, I'm no Bible-burner here. I like a lot of the themes out of the Gospel, and the stories are, in general, simply just good stories. However, I will not stand being told that, without aknowledging a higher power or being, I am inherently worthless and evil.
"I have said that the soul is not more than the body,
and I have said that the body is not more than the soul,
and nothing, not God, is greater to one than one's self is"
Whitman. I have a feeling I'm going to be reading that section of "Leaves Of Grass" over and over in my head a lot tomorrow.
