Here it's possible to get to the core. Faith heads only want to further a train of thought.
I like to learn stuff about Christianity and have plenty of heroes there to check out. Mutual ego stroking doesn't attract me, and I haven't found anywhere online that doesn't fail there.
When I attended classes sponsored by the Biblical Archaelogical Society, there were people of various beliefs there, including ministers and former ministers. One minister mentioned how interesting it was to be able to discuss the Bible in a higher criticism. These were things he confessed, he could never discuss with his own congregation.
What church Bible study class discusses comparative mythology? Midrash? Judaic Law?
"On Earth as it is in Heaven, the Cosmic Roots of the Bible" available on the Amazon.
