I found this in my bible while reading it this morning. Its an easier way to understand the bible, its called the message in contemporary language. here it is.
So God said, in effet, "If that's what you want, thats what you get." It wasn't long before they were living in a pigpen, smeared with filth, filthy inside and out. And all this b ecause they traded the true God for a fake god, and worshiped the god hey made instead of the God who made them, the God we bless, the god who blesses US.
Worse followed. Refusing to know God, they soon didn't know how to be human either, women didn't know how to be women, men didn't know how to be men. Sexually confused. They abused and defiled one antoher, women with women, men with men, all lust, no love. And hen they paid for it, how they paid for it, emptied of God and love, godless and loveless wretches.
Since they didn't bother to acknowledge God, God quit bothering them and let them run loose. And then all hell broke loose, rampant evil, grabbing and grasping, vicious backstabbing. They made life hell on earth with their envy, wanton killing, bickering, and cheating. Look at them, mean- spitirted, venomous, forktongued God bashers. Bullies, swaggerers, insufferable windbags. They kept inventing new ways of wrecking lives. They ditch their parents when they get in the way. Stupid, slimy cruel, cold-blooded. And its not as if they dont know better. They know perfectly w ell they're spitting in God's face. And they dont care...worse, they hand out prizes to those who do the worst things best.



this is what our world has become...its harsh i know. but think about how true it is. People are throwing God around with insults, saying he's not real when such "fantasies" really can't be denied. They say us christians are completely unreal...but how do they really know? Tey can't say God is fake...no one has truly ever had pure evidence that "evolution" was how the earth began... look what people are turning into...its depressing.

if you'd like to give thoughts go ahead.
