Pebbles_nibbles, I can’t believe that you are pulling me into a religious conversation. Arghhhhhhh! x(
Let me give you a bit of background on my religious beliefs/or lack of them. I do believe in God, but I cut the line when we start getting into Jesus/Mohammad/Budda/etc.
I frown on any organized religion, to me it becomes too political and twisted due to the man-handling involved in its conception and running. The bible unfortunately falls into this category.

Many men have been “told” by God to commit heinous crimes on their fellow men. They have killed and raped whole civilizations in the name of God. People have used Him to validate their actions for centuries. I find it very hard to believe that God, could come to Hosea and tell him this….right now I could go on the street and slice someone’s throat open, and say that God told me to….but I digress.
However, if I was Hosea and I had a strong belief in God, I would marry this woman, and although on a personal level it would suck, it would be for a greater good. We as humans are too self-involved and narrow minded anyway.
I bet you this is the same thing the suicide bombers say to themselves when they push that button.
