I'm an athiest but I did read the old testament. It took 1 1/2 years to do it. It was packed with cold-hearted abusive people and the cruel things they did (including God). By the time I finished reading it, I didn't want to suffer through the new testament. There is no way that I could ever be a christian because the bible is a hate-mongers manual. God's demand to hate certain people, and how to make their life miserable is clearly outlined in Gegesis. Domestic abuse is condoned by God and the old testament is littered with examples. My goal in reading it was to have a biblical knowledge inorder to defend myself against christians attacking me demanding to know why I didn't believe. After I read it, I found out that none of the attacking bible-bangers had ever read the bible they professed to believe in. I don't like going into a battle of wits with an unarmed person, but doesn't stop me from crucifying these self-righteous bigots in a debate. How can I go to hell if I don't believe in it?. I've never lost that debate either. Blind believers are idiots that think they know the truth because somebody else said it was, even though there is no evidence that it is true. They sit in a pew every church service being spoonfed 2,000 year old ideoligies that were hi-tech then but not even rational by todays standards, and when the offering tray comes around, their money validates that what they heard is obviously gospel (pun intended). If there was no money in religion, no one would do it. I'll debate anybody about the christian religion, including the history, care to be next? Buckle your seat belt, it'll be a real bumpy ride!

I graduated in "62". The Seeds biggest hit was "I can't seem to make you mine" in 1965, followed by "Pushin to hard" in 1966. Turn, Turn, Turn was a Byrds hit in 1965.
