Biblical Inerrancy - mandatory to be Christian?

[ThomM]

Is biblical inerrancy a mandatory component of christianity? Are there any major christian sects that do not believe the bible to be 100% true?

Actually - ALL major xtian religions have admitted that some of the bible is not literally true - THEY call those passages - the PARABLES -= which are fictional stories that are used to make a moral argument.

And yes - the Catholic Religion has also admitted that parts of the bible are not reality - including genesis. In fact - when they "pardoned" Galileo - they admitted to the earth being a sphere - spinning on its axis - and orbiting the sun - all against the bible.

Christianity is largely a cafeteria religious belief - and the only common denominator is that "christ" is one of the gods. Even if you were to find a sect that claimed that the bible must be accepted as inerrant - you would find few from that sect educated past high school - who would agree with that. And the sects themselves RARELY if ever refuse the person giving them money - which is how they determine who belongs .

In fact - most xtians do not accept everything their religions say - especially when it comes to political situations. I would suggest that virtually ALL xtian sects are against abortion - yet most abortions in the USA are on women in those religious sects.

Studies have already shown that the younger and more educated you are - the less likely you are to believe in this stuff. ANd it also showed that most children do not believe - but prefer to stay in the church instead of creating family problems.

I did not mean to say that there are no atheists who are not decent people, only to pose a question to the atheist community. There are many atheists whom I admire.

Why make blasphemy the gold standard for acceptance of true atheism?

To define the word "Blasphemy" -= you need to prove a god exists to do it ti
ANd no one has

SO the word is actually meaningless
