The Bible IS easy to understand,...but...

... we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know that the minute we understand, we are obliged to act accordingly. Take any word in the New Testament and forget everything except pledging yourself to act accordingly. "My God" you will say, "if I do that my whole life will be ruined. How would I ever get on in the world?" So said Soren Kierkegaard, Danish philosopher and religious thinker. 1813 - 1855.
