An interview I'd like to see.
14 years ago
"What do you think about gay marriage?"
"God says--"
"I didn't ask what god says."
"The bible states--"
"Lemme clear that up. I didn't ask what the bible says."
"I think that god would--"
"You presume to know the mind of a being who you say was deep enough to develop mitochondria, quasars, the platypus and the concept of gravity? This meeting is over."
Take responsibility for your bigotry or shut the fuck up. It isn't okay, just because some guy said something about it a few thousand years ago. Have an opinion of your own or have no opinion. Stop being a second hand asshole.

Why does it rain? Why are there electrically charged particles like electrons and protons? What is the afterlife life? What is our present life for? Why two sexes and not four? What was the name of the guy who invented the wheel? Should we eat pasta? Etc. Etc. Etc. They have answers for any conceivable question whereas the actual scripture says little about anything, really. And even much of that was written by individuals like St. Paul, who was just another Hellenized Jew who thought he had a direct mind-link with the All Mighty.
But a religion that answered almost all the important questions -- such as "What is the meaning of life, why did my husband die, why must we toil in the fields, what will become of us when we die" -- with "who knows," would not have any followers.
