Now all that I have addressed so far is why it is good to have our
notions disturbed. As to the exact nature of those notions, and maybe
more important, the true notions, that may take a bit longer to
consider.
=================

I don't want to do riddles. Just give it to me straight -- what IS the
TRUE notion?

Tink says:
==============
The silly notions were primarily in your understanding of the nature
and character of God.
=============

Sorry Tink. I was NEVER talking about a god. I'm not interested in any
theism. I was talking about JC. I'm open to your interpretations of
JC's position on issues.

Tink says:
===============
Have you ever heard the Scripture, "Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself"? Would you say that this phrase
sets a high mark to strive for in the New Testament? Do you think we
should try to live according to this Scripture today?
=================

Sounds good to me. In fact, it sounds kinda "liberal" to me. You know
what, that's exactly my point to begin with. Recall my initial point:
that JC and the NT were more likely liberal or left-wing than
right-wing?

And further, Tink, as a non-believer, that's EXACTLY the principle I've
been trying to live my life by. Ain't life strange?
