I was wondering if someone could explain to me their views on the inconsistencies in the Bible. Specifically, how could a loving God commit the attrocities documented in the Old Testament? Genocide with the Great Flood. Laws for stoning people to death. Ordering the slaughter of innocent men...

Hi. I was wondering what members consider to be some of the differences between Christian Fundamentalists and other Christian Conservatives. Thank you. Norm
