At the end of my long journey, I have come to a place of peace. I believe that learning to bracket theological questions leads you to a place of calmness. Otherwise, you just become a fundamentalist theist or atheist, filled with energy and childishness. If there is anything the world has suffered enough from, it's fundamentalism; John MacDonald | Hi John.... welcome
interesting...
The thing with some atheists and fundamental Christians, they both take the bible literally? My take on the bible is that any reasonable person from atheist to Christian, should be able to interpret the mythical and metaphorical truths in the Bible.
As Joseph Cambell said of myths "something that never was and always will be" (or words to that effect).
all the best
