Just sayin'.
I tuned Drich our years ago. His presence here is nothing more than background noise to me now. I probably would be more open to engaging him if he didn’t post such enormous text walls. I just ain’t got time for that. 😛
things like the bible God and the nature of man... if someone can't give a complete, answers all questions answer and keep it under two sentences itain't worth the time..
Gottcha.. looks like I will just cry myself to sleep knowing another one just fell through the cracks... Or maybe another one who doesn't want to go any deeper than the surface crap they use to distance themselves from God..
Either Way so long as you are happy with it. I myself Think i can go on living without being called a bigot or liar or having fallacious reasoning by you or jorgie every time I quote or use material that does not agree with your core beliefs.

Quote:Once we drop the absurd pretense that the Bible is a miraculously inspired, infallible, and inerrant revelation from God, the Bible is no longer an old battle axe wrested from the hands of a threatening barbarian. It ceases to be a weapon and becomes a fascinating artifact, like Beowulf, the Nibelungenlied, and the Iliad.
Pg. 15
Just second-rate old literature.
Here is where the 'thinker' misses the point..
The bible despite never claiming to be perfect is still a map and the proof of any map is to test to see if it takes you where it is supposed to go. Meaning does the bible set you up to find yourself before God.. yes... That is where the blade of the old battle axe is hidden. not as a rule book not as a source of infallible material but does this book place you before God in this life if you so follow that path laid out. The answer minnie is yes. Yes it still works.
