You seem to care very much about being seen as open minded, listing it as your religious views. You seem to do this to hide your status as a theist, rather than actually being open minded.
Feel free to explain how I (or others) have mischaracterized the bible. I notice that you've failed to do that in your response to me.
I do it to avoid being forced into a specific cubbyhole by a label. As you and Rhythm seem intent upon doing.
As for your mischaracterization of the Bible, that would require many, many threads to illustrate - easy enough but time consuming.
Let me ask: Have you actually read the Bible for yourself? Old Testament? New Testament? How much? How often? How recently?
Thanks.
