Everyone seems to be ganging up on STM. Unfairly so, I think. Despite some of his arguments being a little... Ridiculous and childish.
STM, if you're still reading (which I doubt), how do you interpret different areas of the bible? Do you find yourself sticking very rigidly to things that have been written (no sex before marriage, no lying, no cheating, etc.) or do you use it as more of a guideline to your life?
I'm not really sure what I think about the Church's view on Genesis being a story, but the view of God and the bible does change depending on the times and the "fashion" of the bible. 100 years ago people concentrated more on the hellfire and brimstone, nowadays people concentrate on the loving, benevolent God. And as such, interpretations of the text change.
What does everyone think about the idea of an afterlife?
