I do not claim to be a scholar, I just claim not to be blinded by
a faith or book that is full of hypocrisy.

No I dont. I am saying that it is the person who does good, 
not the church and not the bible. 

You are attempting to put words in my mouth, and using 
more false logic.

I am not ranting against people of faith. You clearly chose to
interpret what I wrote as a personal attack. 

There is nothing wrong with good intentions. What you fail to 
see is that the bible and the supposed experts that preach it
are using your faith to manipulate what you think and what
you do for them. 

Practice good day in and day out. But see what happens when 
you question those in Christian leadership or authority. They
are not interested in the words of one of the sheep. The 
bible is but one book, and not a good foundation for life.
You can be good without being Christian.
