What you call "dogma" I call "reading what's there".
Speaking of being consistent with how we operate in every other area of life. If I wrote business contracts and then decided that they meant something completely different than what's written in the contract, I'd get sued. The same whimsical liberal Christian "interpretation" (which usually boils down to making stuff up based on how it sounds good to the individual) they apply to the Bible wouldn't work in any other area of life.

Maybe you should try making sense in what you type. A non-Christian Christian belief is an oxy-moron.
