I appreciate your thoughts, martinguerre, and will continue to reflect upon them. Maybe I'm just bummed out and need to get away from the issue for a while. I see the compassion, humility, absence of judgment and ultimate sacrifice of Jesus as sublime, and aspire to do justice to that by emulating him. In the face of that, I've been judged not to be a Christian by many close to me, including my brother, because I can't accept that the Bible is the literal and inerrant word of God.
