What beliefs would we consider reasonable for a self proclaimed Christian to hold?

Well....I know that....but.........

If you say so.

How many Not Earth Day-Days™, then?

There were 7 periods of creation time mentioned in the book of Genesis which were called days. We also read:

(New Testament | 2 Peter 3:8)

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Yep, the old 2 Peter gambit.

You do know -- don't you? -- that 2 Peter was written at a time when Jesus' failure to return within the lives of his followers had become something of an embarrassment and a scandal. Hence, the spin. And here we are, two-thousand years (or "two days" if you prefer) later, and idiots are still falling for that spin and waiting for that return.

Any minute now . . .
