BFP, thanks for your dialogue about the authority of the Bible.

IMO, the Bible has no more authority over us than we give it. I read it like I do any kind of media. Some of it is true and valuable; some of it is propaganda, and much of it is nonsense.

IMO, Jesus was a reformer, unitheist and uiversalist--
GØD is not the name of a super being. It is my acronym for that non-material whatever, in which we, and all the universe, live and have out being and, which at same time permeates all this is. Check out:

PHYSICALISM
BFP, do you acknowledge that there is a non-material whatever? Or are you a total physicalist (materialist)?
