Now an "if" apology? Passive aggressive much? Relax. I got the gist the first time.Sorry for you then if you can't understand my point.
You wish to stress that Christianity should be rooted in the words of Jesus alone. So if not bibles, what sources do you recommend others use to find "who he says he is" or "what did he teach"? And what's this have to do with "Mandelbrot Sets -- Proof of God?" or with Dan Barker explaining why he's no longer religious?My entire point is this. If Christianity would root its system on Jesus, and the words of Jesus alone. Many of the arguments made by Dan and other atheists don't matter any more. Christians wouldn't have to worry about "sola scripture" and all the variances contained with the the gospels and letters. Are the OT stories real or not. Doesn't matter. What about science? Neil Degrasse Tyson said it best when he said "The bible teaches. how to go to heaven, not how the heavens go". All the tangential, man applied beliefs that come from a hyper belief in the Bible, are moot. But many Christians don't see the error because this means they can't worship the Bible any more and continue to practice Bibliolatry.
Christianity hinges on "Is Jesus who he says he is and if you believe so, what did he teach". Period.
