Thats not to say that all Christians especially of the born again type create a need within themselves for a belief in a god, or that all members of the god squad are addicts looking for an addiction.

It does seem with Dave though, he tends to use certain areas of the bible to support his take on God, and ignores larger parts of it that actually go against his personal beliefs. Similarly his simplistic view of the creationist model he holds true.

That is typically saying something and nothing at the same time. I respect religious views. Undeniably these views changed the world and supported an empathy that stands for the good of mankind.

However plenty of folks have as you said used selective passages from the bible and the koran etc to stupidly terrorise and put across bastardised, selective views onto 'normal' folks.

Dave is clearly one of these people who has serious problems due to his selective views i.e. equating homosexuals with witches and warlocks as 'he sees them'. I find him to be a very strange man with said issues.
