Reply #61: Do I have to defend myself now?

[Gregorian]

My father is 82, and has spent his entire life studying the bible in great detail. He has a degree in divinity from a non-fundy school. One that he got in the '40's. No, it's not MY degree. But I learned from him. We both are appauled by the crap that constitutes the majority of what gets passed around as "Christianity". The only church we have ever attended is the Stanford Memorial church. And there we are personal friends with Doctor Greg. Now he does happen to have all of the things you mention in your post.
I defend the bible like I defend the Constitution. And I find it equally as difficult to see people who like Bush as I do people who disrespect other truths. And in the long run, it's not my job to push this onto anyone. But when I see posts that simply dismiss the bible as myth, I get pretty bothered. It's very easy to just buy into Bush's bullshit. But upon looking deeper, one sees the truth. It's not easy to find. The media isn't helping. And the same goes for the bible. It's unique. It's not like every other religion.

But I suppose when Jesus does come back again, people still won't believe. That's fine with me. But I don't like it when they do what amounts to swiftboating. Bush deserves bashing. But not Kerry. And not the bible.

Enough. I'm wasting my time.
