I better stop here before some good member gives me the :devil1:.

It does NOT logically follow.

You are a Southern Baptist. So what???

Just how I believe or do not believe.

Mr Hendrikse describes the Bible's account of Jesus's life as a mythological story about a man who may never have existed, even if it is a valuable source of wisdom about how to lead a good life.

His book Believing in a Non-Existent God led to calls from more traditionalist Christians for him to be removed. However, a special church meeting decided his views were too widely shared among church thinkers for him to be singled out.

Not only was there not an historical bibical Jesus and never could be one, an equally ridiculous myth is that one can find the bible as "a valuable source of wisdom about how to lead a good life." The bible is the last place that I would look for a standard of morality. No one should concede that the bible is an enlightened work of fiction without asking for the standard of morality found in it to be defined and examples given. Perhaps for its time it was as good as one could expect, but by modern rational standards the bible is a source of evil not of good.

Do not compare the Hellenic heroes and divinities with that! For that blaphemy you shall be thrown and forever remain in the lowest and dingiest portion of Tartarus!

Me? You're the one who went and compared those Hellenic sissies to Jesus. And for that you are going to Hell which is very real since it's a Christian thing.

I concur. I shall now write a Homeric hymn 50 times on the blackboard kneeling on broken quarry stone.
