Don't worry about it. It's complete and utter horse hockey.

I have felt a religious high before. But that's the same thing anybody would feel in any cult. This whole, reading the bible with new eyes, like believing unlocks some mystical understanding or insight is bull.

All they are doing are glossing over the screwed up and bad parts of the bible, ignoring the contradictions, and focusing on the parts they like. There's nothing else in that book that you won't get if you read it yourself.

They're just trying to act like they have something special but they don't. Not at all.

Any of us who used to be Christians can tell you the truth of that.
