    Literally Speaking

    If this church ruled our country and really, really enforced bible word by word, kids would be slaughtered because they disagreed with their parents (which probably happens quite a lot). Perhaps because they follow the bible word by word, that little church could probably have a lot of nasty little secrets that goes against the rule of law and the constitution. And all in the name of religion as well. Slowly, we are getting closer to burning witches again.
