For anyone looking for a hopeful faith but feel put off by the versions of faith they have heard, Doug Pagitt offers the book A Christianity Worth believing.
The Bible is nonsense. Building a reality-based life on fairy stories is impossible. Nuts will always find an excuse to do stupid things. You've just been educated beyond the Fundiegelicals while still wanting to cling to the bible as a means of left-of-center social mobilization. Pointless.
Luke 2:22-23, 26 basically says that you will be blessed if men hate you and accuse you falsely for the sake of Christ, because that's how the people treated the prophets. BUT... woe to you if all men speak well of you, because that's how the people treated the false prophets. 1st Timothy 4:3-5 sums this kind of teaching up very well. People will surround themselves up with teachers... false teachers... who tell them what they want to hear. How many sheep costumes do you keep in your closet?
Doug, any "Christianity" that fits in the world you live in is emnity with God, because the Bible says in Jamess 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. God revealed himself through the scriptures.
This guy is a deconstructionist and a minister of Satan. He cringes, the very same way Satan would cringe, and has every right to cringe because he is ashamed.
