Thanks. I wasn't clear on that, Rhythm. You win.

Despite your beating around the burning bush I can see that you can easily pick and choose what part of "god's word" you believe. What is the criteria for your lack of faith for certain verses? I would wager a guess and say you decide that whichever verse will help you prove your current stubborn theory is the one you believe in, interchangable with your mood and belief. I can understand this is about personal belief and I can also respect that, but when you involve others with proselytizing and attempted conversion it stops being personal. How does one attempt conversion with a clear conscience, knowing that the good book is wrong about creation or exodus? I'd assume you would skip over the creation and go right into heaven and hell, god's immoral system of justice that EVERYONE must follow regardless of personal belief. Do you start with, "In the middle, god created jesus"?You don't have to be a Creationist to believe the Bible is true. The Bible is not true as a historical document, but as a book of teaching on faith and morals.
