I think we need a better foundation to dissent than “a whole bunch of people are doing it.” For many, the bible is sufficient foundation. But do not kid yourself — being serious about God is the only option unless you want to live a lost life.
I agree completely. But my conception of God is somewhat different than what’s found in the Bible and profoundly different than what’s taught in every church I’ve ever been to (I’ve been to Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian, so a pretty small sample).
