I saw your deviantart page, you're very talented.

Thanks for the input questdriven you did a great job of explaining your beliefs. Far be it from me to question a person for doing what makes them happy. I hope you keep reading and expanding your beliefs.

No, I think you are doing very well. What then can be considered scripture? Everything in the bible or just certain parts? Also as was stated before, the events of the bible were historically based 2000 years ago or more, and the views and ideas are open to modern day interpretation. I agree...
