This is an interesting video from a journalist that attempted to live biblically. He makes some good points about not really being able to live by the bible's exact rules and choosing the ones the make you a better person. I am not to religious of a person but I believe living an honest life and following basic rules (killing, tolerance, treating people with respect...) will take you to where you want to go.

Religion is such a touchy subject. I see the hypocrisy in so many "religious" people that it turns me away from a specific religion. It bothers me even more when religions that preach about judgement do just that. I don't believe any specific religion is better or more correct. At the core of each one you will find similar virtues or ethical principles. We should be using these to bring us closer instead we allow the differences take us apart. This should be a subject I discuss more. What do you guys think?
