Louie, first of all, I’m quite surprised anyone is a student of my postings, but thank you for your comment. Please understand that while most of what I write is what I do believe, not all of what I write is. Sometimes I’ll post things just to explore an idea, and certainly regarding religion I do not claim to have all the answers, it is very much an ongoing process for me.
To answer your question, I consider myself a Christian. I’ve never thought of myself as a Muslim or any other faith, except Christian. That said, I question Christianity all the time, there are many aspects to it that don’t make sense to me. I do not believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible. I believe that the Bible was written by men who in good faith tried to answer some of the basic questions of mankind, such as who are we, why are we here, who is God, and what is His nature. The Bible isn’t man’s only attempt to answer such questions, every culture and society has made such an effort, the Koran being one such example.
I’m certainly not offended by your questions, and in fact I welcome questions. And again, I do not profess to have THE answer, but merely my answer at this time. My thoughts on religion have evolved over the years, and very well may change again, should there be reason to do so.
Thank you again, and please don’t be shy about asking questions or making comments. If I’m wrong, I want to know it, on religion or any other topic. Hope you have a nice day.
