No, I am not a theologian, but I did have as a college roommate for an

academic year a fellow who got his master's at Union Theological

Seminary, and was ordained an Episcopal priest. He got me to go to

Sunday Episcopal services on campus because, he claimed, they served the

best Sunday student breakfast and had the best-looking coeds at their

services. He was right on both counts.

Of course there would be an alternate motive for going.


He and I argued some on issues religious. We're still close friends.



I have an M.A. in English, and my concentration was in etymology. As for

your interpretations, you're just proving my point, that biblical

interpretation is in the mind of the beholder. There's nothing wrong or

intellectually dishonest about that, as long as one admits it.



I'm glad you told me. THANKS! But, you don't believe in the book anyhow. so why make a big deal out of it? I mean, why are you trying to interpret something something you don't believe in anyhow?


An alternative motive for "going," beyond the free eats and hot
chicks...I didn't see any. I was agnostic 50 years ago when I was
getting my B.A.

I believe "the book" is a book. As for "interpretation," it is just an
intellectual pursuit. Do you have some actual evidence the bible wasn't
written, translated and rewritten by bunches of guys over a relatively
long time period? You know, some sort of "supreme" writing?

Hey Harry. I believe 'the book' in just as much as you believe the opposite.. But one thing. You've insulted and will continue to do so, 'the book' and whom it is about , it's writers, its theme, and it's followers far, far more than I will ever think of insulting those who don't believe in 'the book'

But that's ok. We're used to it...

It's just a book, Tim. There's not a shred of proof that it was written
by other than men, or that there was a divine hand in its writing.
Anyone in this country is free to believe whatever they wish about it,
so long as they don't try to force by law those beliefs onto society or
others who believe differently. This country has no state religion.

That's my question for atheists. Why fight so hard against something that you firmly believe is
non-existent?

Why not fight against flying pigs?

Consider Harry the critic, who has never written a book of any sort,
never published anything, never written anything worthwhile, lies about
who he is, what he does, what he has, who he knows. Is his opinion of
the number one best selling book in the world, worth anything? Is his
opinion on anything worth anything? Crikey, he has little interest in,
knowledge of, or interesting stories about boats, fishing, or traveling.

Here's an example of Krause's writing and story telling skills. "We took
the boat to a lunch spot and ate. After that we swam in the Chesapeake
and went home." WOW!

Well, that's been established for over 235 years. Did you think it would be overturned next week?

No one is stopping you from "living it," whatever that means, so long as
you don't force others to believe as you do.
