Amen!
OK. You're keeping me hooked to this machine. I did a "google" on The Frankfurt School, Atkinson. I promise to read the whole thing. This looks intriguing.
We should go back to strict constructionism for the Constitution. I hope Bush appoints justices that will do that.
However, Biblical "literalism" is nothing more than a superficial interpretation of the Bible (usually the KJV written in English). There is a lot more to understanding the Bible than just reading it. Many of the literalists take such silly positions, they drive people away from Christianity.
If there is a Presbyterian PCA chuch nearby go for a visit. Very conservative bible believing.
One instance is the notion that the Noah epic is true in detail. There is no evidence of a world wide flood in the last six thousand years ( or ever for that matter). It is impossible to have all the "kinds" of animals on a wooden boat for a year. The population of humans on the Earth could not have come from Noah's family in the last 5 or 6 thousand years. Plus, the genetics of the Earth's populations falsify the idea of Noah being the originator of all humans.
There are many other instances, including some really weird takes on Revelation.
Look at post 46
I'm, sigh.in NY...beyond hope..I'll ping you on something I posted yesterday..my sad experience Christmas Eve..
Oh dear...what happened?
True that there couldn't have been the worldwide flood, but something happened to cause this story.
As for Revelations, I don't think we'll know what all that really means until it has happened. The book itself warns against false prophets.
Correction:
The Orthodox Churches are pulling out of the org.

See #54. something to think about anyway.
"With respect, I ask anyone who still belongs what the attraction is or was?"
I gives you a chance to make believe that you're Christian while holding to your perversions and sins.

"the Episcopal church is the 'Chivas Regal' of Protestantism. ... It is as far from shout 'n sing Protestantism as you can get without going to Rome; and well it should be, for the point of it all is to become as Catholic as possible without becoming Catholic....
This doesn't strike me as large enough numbers to indicate an exodus yet. Heck that many members could die in a year.
But it is obvious they certainly aren't attracting new members.
Thank you for the list and the wise comments. The NCC itself is almost broke and is also a major staging ground for the Sodomite revolution.
