Religion

[Agorith]

I'm a Protestant Christian. It is part of my culture and it has helped build the civilization that I know and love.

Protestant Christendom is (pretty much)  the rejection of religious hierarchies of priesthood and the belief that religion is something personal, developed through your own knowledge and interpretation of the bible - through the ability each individual has to reason.

"developed through your own knowledge and interpretation of the bible"

So why believe in a book if you're gonna interpret it however you please to begin with?
Basically just using shite quotes whenever it suits you?

Please forgive me if my interpretation of how this works is flawed, but if it ain't that's even dumber than being a classic christian.
To be fair, most 'classic' christians I've encountered on the internet only interpret the bible the way they want to interpret it anyway pushing their own personal agendas and ignoring half the shit in it.
