poster said, but to use common sense and view it in terms of faith-based reality. I guess. It really wasn't openly discussed that much. You were taught to believe in Jesus and God and faith and loving one another and all those good things. Mercy to animals. A lot of emphasis on BEHAVIOR, as I recall. I don't recall any discussions on our having to really believe some of the things like the people being hundreds of years old and such...could be our preachers just left that to the individual.
But here in Texas it's a pretty literal thing, apparently, where I live being sort of in the Bible Belt, I think, makes it a much more literal thing. I guess.
