Appearently the way to be enlightened is to deny the inspiration of scripture, treating it as a buffet. Deny God's account of the creation of the universe, earth, mankind, flood, languages, miracles of the Exodus, walls of Jereicho, etc, but of course accept the virgin birth (if you still do) and the ressurection (how convenient). Yep that makes one wise.

Hit the straw man a bit harder to see if he has any more stuffing in it.

Explain. Pel has made it clear in the past that He does not accept the things I wrote as either historical or miraculous, and that in his opinion, as he has shared again on this thread that to believe that Genesis 1-3 (amongst other chapters) is to make one appear foolish to the world, hence "unenlightened".
You were saying?

In a totally open forum like this with a wide array of views you can over-simplify any subject and make it a declarative statement when applying it to folks... which is a mistake.
There are conservatives on here (even if they are still thumb sucking after loss after loss), moderates, liberals, odd mixtures of other things with some apostolic flavoring... you name it.. its a open forum.

Right, and the open forum is why I continue to stick around. I didn't make the cut in the closed forum, where one is required to not question anything other than perhaps sleeve length or TV. Such sites get stale pretty quickly, I am also appalled at the things some men post about others in a forum that is closed to the public, some of which occassionally ends up over here at the "sewer".

I proactively asked to be deleted from APF, and was actively deleted form JP/AMF.
Its amazing what you see when their dinner table discussions are put into written format.
