Meanings of “God” in some scriptures

[jimhabegger]

Good point. Thanks.

... where I’d like to start is with what concerns you might have about a person studying some religious scriptures as one way among others of learning to live a better life.

That’s too restrictive. I study some religious scriptures as one way among others to help me learn to live a better life. Besides that I’m a member of a religious community that uses some of those scriptures, and I participate in some of its activities, including its efforts to expand and multiply. Does that make me a bad person?

Honestly, I don’t know where I’m trying to go with this. Anything anyone wants to say about it, critical or otherwise, would be welcome.

I still don’t know where I was trying to go with this, but I have an idea of what I’d like to do. I’d like to discuss possible reasons for me to give up studying religious scriptures, and collaborating with a religious community, including trying to help it grow and spread.

Anything else anyone else anyone wants to say about it would still be welcome, and I’m still willing to discuss the g word and how I use it, if anyone wants to.

I’ve said all I want to say about the g word and how I use it, but if anyone wants to discuss it any more, I’m willing.
