From what I can see, EVERYONE picks what they like or what they feel they have to from one or many systems of belief. Every sermon from every church that I have ever been to has represented a subjective interpretation either of written word or of assumed Laws of God. I base my beliefs in a subjective way to... I pick the things out of the bible that make particular light to me. If they produce dark, I assume that they are not really relevant to the reason(s) that I may have decided to pick up the bible. Fortunately, it seems to be one of those books (although it's not a single book, of course) that I can pick up and open up to exactly what I need to read when I feel drawn to do it. For me, a personal relationship with divinity is more important than any single belief system. I live within the Bible Belt and I see allot of bullshit. I was going to say that I see allot of fundamentalists but I don't even believe that this is true. I would rather say that I see a great many hypocrite crusaders who want to save me so badly, are so afraid for my soul that they have taken their own salvation for granted. They're working their asses off to get me to 'sign up'... I'm a nice person and they hate to see me end up in hell . So anyway, they're so involved in the cause of leading the sheeple to God that they have forgotten where they're going. They're so busy seeing sin and seeing evil that the love that was once in their hearts has been pushed out by an addiction to fear and drama.

Anyway, I don't think any 'religion' will ever be 'debunked'. Looking at the Bible, the collection of books that make it up... some parts of that may be. Just read what's in the red.
