RE: "But what about the moderates?"

(December 16, 2014 at 5:33 pm)Vicki Q Wrote: Perhaps some form of summary might help here. The Bible has a meta-narrative of 'Sin, exile, forgiveness, restoration'. Thus we have the story of Adam (the Hebrew word for humanity), gone wrong. We have a creation gone wrong. We have a nation, Israel, charged with sorting out the problems of humanity (the promise to Abraham), but also they kept going wrong.
A poor narrative from the word go. "Captain Save a Ho" doesn't save the ho..and bonus, we're all ho's. Despite masterful strokes of brilliance in any single narrative the entire tome, taken as a whole, is less than compelling...even as fiction. You have a habit, btw, of intrinsically evasive positions regarding the historicity of the bible - and the importance of that historicity. It is not - to my mind- important that the bible be historically accurate in the least....but I think that it's myth. Anyone who imagines some kernel of truth in christ is not going to be able to lean on such a forgiving position. That "some of it is true" business....nonsense Vicki.

See you after christmas.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
