I agree completely and you make an important observation that I had not completely considered.
My theological positions:

-God created us in His image, not the other way around.
-The Bible is redeemed by it's good parts.
-Pure monotheism, simple repentance.
-YHVH is LORD
-The real Jesus is not God, the real YHVH is not a monster.
-Eternal life is a gift from the Living God.
-Keep the Commandments, keep your salvation.
-I have accepted YHVH as my Heavenly Father, LORD and Savior.

I am inspired by Jesus to worship none but YHVH, and to serve only Him.

I learnt something.
Proverbs 18:17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.

A question I had not heard before.
Proverbs 18:17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.

Well said -- without pointing fingers at anyone who touts degrees.

"I have multiple degrees myself, and I am well past being impressed with myself over it. I'm 66 years old, and I understand now that my long ago post graduate work was only the early baby steps in my efforts to accumulate knowledge."

Great post and very true. Never fully looked at it from that point of view.

Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.

Prayer is like rubbing an old bottle and hoping that a genie will pop out and grant you three wishes.

There is much about this world that is mind boggling and impressive, but I see no need whatsoever to put it down to magical super powered beings.

Great points their Adstar. Really liked the point about how Christians can't really be true Christians if they have an apparent demon in them.

No worries. Been a while since I've hung around here; my other forum is a little less strict ;)

Well thought out and well put. Besides, I must recognize a fellow follower of Zarquon! All Hail Zarquon!
Religion is poison because it asks us to give up our most precious faculty, which is that of reason, and to believe things without evidence. It then asks us to respect this, which it calls faith. - Christopher Hitchens
