I commend you for the effort involved in placing a modern face of ancient text. The difficulty, it seems to me, is in the millions who follow the "christianity 2.0 version" and have no desire to try the new Beta. Because many consider individual interpretation of the bible to be a bad thing...they are locked into a cycle of stagnation, and would probably consider you both as "bad" christians. Unfortunately they do make up the vocal majority of christianity, and are thus the societal face projected to the masses.

Well, I can't speak for chavos, but I
have been condemned to hell by one or two of them...which is just silly because I have my own clergy forgive me regularly (every Sunday I go to church, in fact).
Anyway, I think there are MANY more of us than you think, tecoyah, it's just that we are not "squeeky wheels". Our faith doesn't require us to make a big hairy deal of it by shoving it in anyone's faces.
