Comment on Biblical literalism: a conservative heresy? by Michael Raines

Thank you for sharing your insights. As a teacher in Texas at a community college, my students tend to see poetry as useless and untrue, suggesting that only literal fact is worthwhile. Many wish to “debunk” evolution by quoting from non-authorities about science they do not understand. As for their understanding of history, it’s all “back in the day.” So, we have generations of people who don’t know how to extrapolate truth from poetry or a poetic story, and those same people want to use the Bible as science and history.

Luckily, to steal a phrase from Robert Frost’s “Mending Wall,” Yahweh has given some of us a desire to “go behind [our] father’s saying[s]” and use our minds as well as our emotions to worship God. Because of American-generated ID and YEC theories, the heresy of literalism specifically weakens the United States. Children are told they will go to hell if they believe, trust, or use evolutionary principles–the same principles for all genetic medicines and all empirical understanding of biology. Furthermore, people who can discount evidence of natural selection or tectonic plate movements can easily discount a globe earth for a flat one. After all, doesn’t 1 Chronicles 16:30 say the “earth cannot be moved” supported by Psalms 96:10?

Thank you for reminding us that real worship requires going beyond easy, hateful, ignorant answers. God wants so much better for us.

Comment on “Visible to change attitudes” – 25 years of the Gay Police Association by Malcolm Lidbury

Just for the record.

I give my verbal testimony statement (which I shall be doing voluntarily under oath) to the Statutory Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse ‘Truth Project’ this coming week. Tues 22 Jan 2019

I hope every police officer I’ve ever encountered or communicated with (CC Shaun Sawyer down) since 1988 in the Devon & Cornwall Constabulary bursts into flames & burns in hell for the homophobia endured as an adult & collaboration in these police covering up child sexual abused rape & sodermy I was subjected to as a 6 through to 10yr old boy by these evil vile scum who wear police uniforms.
