No, I'm not putting up with you. I find what you say fascinating. I am a Baptist. Well, more or less play along because I have a youth group and in my own little way I teach them what is really important and hopefully teach them to see God in everything.
I, too. am unlearning things and reading the Bible in a different light. Actually, I never bought the whole package but in the last seven years I've been doing a lot of studying. At times, I must admit, it got a bit stressful and I put it aside, only to pick it up after a bit of a rest. I don't belive I'm as knowledgeable as you are. I'm a slow learner.
