My mind can be changed, but only by proper application of facts and reason. (Hint: If you are internet-arguing, it won’t happen.)
I can be reached by adding (at)Yahoo.com to the end of my screen name. That includes if you want me to edit your fanpost, and I’ll treat it just like any other piece from the regular writers that “crosses my desk”.
This one’s interesting, at least to me. I have long been saying that the Bible cannot be dismissed as pure fiction. Archeologically, it’s worth serious study, as there are many instances that correspond between the text and archeological research, other writings from the era included. I don’t share his faith, but one of the things my good friend Nas likes about me is that I take that stand, because I do treat the Bible seriously, neither absolute fact nor absolute fiction, so he can confirm this.
There are shades of mythos in every truth and shades of truth in every mythos. The people I respect the most are those who are willing to confront the shades of truth in mythos they disbelieve and acknowledge the mythos in the narratives they believe true. It’s a lonely position at times though, because you anger those that largely agree but will seldom go far enough to win over those with whom you largely don’t.
