denuseri, as always, you are extremely well-spoken. Yes, the Bible was written by falable men. And interpreted by falable men. And CONTINUES to be interpreted by falable men. Does that make their God the one true end all be all of deities? Hardly. I was raised in a Christian home, but turned away from that faith long ago. I much prefer the Wiccan crede: An' it harm none, do what ye will. Thank you to everyone that's responded here. Thorne, thank you for your encouragement. fyre, thank you for your echo of Thorne's sentiment. denuseri, thank you very much for another well-spoken and analytical response.
