The Bible: Not to be Taken Orally
As my (3) regular readers will notice, I have been grossly neglecting my duties as the most interesting and intelligent religious blog writer (though my ego remains unscathed).

and now for something entirely differet
So these two videos offered the same criticism, though in completely different ways. How should we treat the bible? It is a serious problem. What is a good Christian (if there is such a thing) to do? As Jesus says (as aptly played by Joe Black) “The Bible says a lot of things.”
Well first I think it is important to develop an understanding and familiarity with the bible. I am not talking about being able to club people over the head with chapter and verse quotations, but simply reading the Bible. How many of us have actually read the bible? I can say in honesty that I have not. But if I have not read the bible how can I be sure that I am no simply basing my understanding of my religion of what I hear from others?In an effort to personally rectify this issue, as well as preparing for seminary school in the fall, I plan to read the bible and offer my annotations as I progress through the ancient texts.
All this, of course, after I complete the finals for my last undergraduate semester
