  So if your personal morals align with Hitler, does that make it okay to be a nazi?

  Whether or not something is ok is a moral judgement, so it again depends on who you ask. A nazi will of course think it’s ok … that’s probably why they are a nazi. If you asked me personally, I think it’s not ok.

  I believe The Dude who lived a perfect life, was crucified, then rose from the dead is God.

  Right. But we haven’t heard of him in a while, so it’s kind of hard to consult with him on moral issues. And his book isn’t that comprehensive, contains some rather questionable takes and also is not really keeping up with a lot of more modern moral issues. Not to mention their is hundreds of different versions of the book and there is a lot of disagreement which is the “correct” one. So in the end it’s still up to you to decide which interpretation you like best.

    Except there isn’t really. That textual variants argument is mainly over spelling mistakes and random skipped words by scribes. Since there are hundreds of different manuscripts as they said, you can clearly track errors The most significant doctrine that’s impacted by it is the question over John 8:1-11.
