July 4, 2007 someone writes: All i can say is that the religion has fucked up another mind. If the bible is so true then why do we have wars and different races. Didn't the world all drown when Noah built the ark, if so the why do we have white and black and asian, etc. If the people were all dead then everyone would look like noahs family and we would all be one colour. Hmmmmm i don't get this religion thing and don't want it.
