Ken Crandall commented on Mady's group GSA (Gay Straight Alliance)"As a Christian I don't take the Bible literally. And despite what you may think, most modern Christians - at least in the US - don't either. We see it as a collection of stories that teach lessons.

I know what you are trying to say there are still OK religious persons out there. I'm from UU so I know what you are talking about.
But you know, most of people who called themselves christians are the worst kind of bigots, sexists and horrible people. The mixed of literal bible teachings would flame their own prejudice and turn them into a population of nasties. To say it is not true is to blind to the fact that prop 8 and a lot of other nasty outcome is the direct result of christians actions. So, don't tell people that it is not the fault of religion and religious people when you and your church could not upset the balance of nasty christians actions.
