Lines: 25 To Bob Langdon Re: your comments and quotes directed to Tim - Garbage. Is it so hard for you to accept the fact that a goodly part of the Bible is myth? "Seek with an open mind and an sincere heart to know the truth." If you seek your truth in the Bible, at least do so openly and critically. The Bible should be read in the context of its historical, social, and cultural foundations. In addition, the inaccuracy of translation should make you wary of accepting the Bible as the literal Word. Blind faith is a hiding place for weak faith. True and strong faith is not only open to criticism - it will take to heart that criticism to see if there is truth in it. To Tim and Paul I don't always agree with either of you - but you make interesting reading. Keep up the effort and ignore people like Langdon. -- Dave Carr ihuxq!dccarr
